| 1 | <V 128:1>A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say: | “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— | A song of ascents. “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,” let Israel say; | |
| 2 | <V 128:2>they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me. | “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. | “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me. | |
| 3 | <V 128:3>The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity. | The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” | Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long. | |
| 4 | <V 128:4>The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners. | The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. | But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.” | |
| 5 | <V 128:5>Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards. | May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! | May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame. | |
| 6 | <V 128:6>Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up: | Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, | May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow; | |
| 7 | <V 128:7>with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom. | with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, | a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms. | |
| 8 | <V 128:8>And those who were passing by have not said to them: “The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.” | nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!” | May those who pass by not say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.” | |
