Psalms 129
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;
1Canticum graduum. [De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
2'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.
2Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes in vocem deprecationis meæ.
3The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.
3Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?
4The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'
4Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus:
5Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.
5speravit anima mea in Domino.
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;
6A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino.
7Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
7Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
8Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
8Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.]
