Psalm 129

English Standard Version

from Crossway

They Have Afflicted Me from My Youth

A Song of Ascents.

1 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— (Ex 1:14; Jud 3:8; Jud 3:14; Jud 4:3; Jud 6:2; Jud 10:8; Ps 124:1; Isa 47:12; Jer 2:2; Jer 22:21; Ho 2:15) 

2 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. (Ps 1:1; 2Co 4:8) 

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” (Isa 50:6; Isa 51:23; Mic 3:12) 

4 The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. (Ps 2:3) 

5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! (Ps 35:4) 

6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, (2Ki 19:26; Job 8:12; Ps 37:2; Isa 37:27) 

7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, 

8 nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!” (Ru 2:4; Ps 118:26)

Psalm 129

Lutherbibel 2017

from Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft

Hoffnung in der Bedrängnis

1 Ein Wallfahrtslied. Sie haben mich oft bedrängt von meiner Jugend auf – so sage Israel –, 

2 sie haben mich oft bedrängt von meiner Jugend auf; aber sie haben mich nicht überwältigt. 

3 Die Pflüger haben auf meinem Rücken geackert und ihre Furchen lang gezogen. (Isa 51:23) 

4 Der HERR, der gerecht ist, hat der Frevler Stricke zerhauen. 

5 Ach dass zuschanden würden und zurückwichen alle, die Zion hassen! 

6 Ach dass sie würden wie das Gras auf den Dächern, das verdorrt, ehe man es ausrauft, 

7 mit dem der Schnitter seine Hand nicht füllt noch der Garbenbinder seinen Arm; 

8 und keiner, der vorübergeht, soll sprechen: / Der Segen des HERRN sei über euch! Wir segnen euch im Namen des HERRN. (Ru 2:4)

Psalm 129

Nuova Riveduta 2006

from Società Biblica di Ginevra

Ricordo dell’oppressione

1 Canto dei pellegrinaggi. Molte volte mi hanno oppresso fin dalla mia gioventù – lo dica pure Israele – 

2 molte volte mi hanno oppresso fin dalla mia gioventù; eppure non hanno potuto vincermi. 

3 Degli aratori hanno arato sul mio dorso, vi hanno tracciato i loro lunghi solchi. 

4 Il Signore è giusto; egli ha spezzato le funi degli empi. 

5 Siano confusi e voltino le spalle quanti odiano Sion! 

6 Siano come l’erba dei tetti, che secca prima di crescere! 

7 Non se ne riempie la mano il mietitore, né le braccia chi lega i covoni; 

8 e i passanti non dicono: «La benedizione del Signore sia su di voi; noi vi benediciamo nel nome del Signore!»
