1Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud, Diga ahora Israel:2Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud, Pero no prevalecieron contra mí.3Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores, Hicieron largos sus surcos.4YHVH es justo, Cortó las coyundas de los malvados.5Sean avergonzados y vueltos atrás Los que aborrecen a Sión.6Sean como hierba de terrado, Que se seca antes de brotar,7Que no llena la mano del segador, Ni la brazada del que agavilla,8Ni le dicen los que pasan: La bendición de YHVH sea sobre vosotros, Os bendecimos en el nombre de YHVH.
1A Song of Ascents. “Greatly[1] have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— (Ex 1:14; Jue 3:8; Jue 3:14; Jue 4:3; Jue 6:2; Jue 10:8; Sal 120:1; Sal 124:1; Is 47:12; Jer 2:2; Jer 22:21; Os 2:15)2“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. (Sal 129:1; 2 Co 4:8)3The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” (Is 50:6; Is 51:23; Miq 3:12)4The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. (Sal 2:3)5May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! (Sal 35:4)6Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, (2 R 19:26; Job 8:12; Sal 37:2; Is 37:27)7with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms,8nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!” (Rt 2:4; Sal 118:26)
