1 A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.

3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.

4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.

6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.

8 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.

1 Jie vargino mane nuo pat jaunystės,­tesako Izraelis,­

2 jie vargino mane nuo pat jaunystės, tačiau nenugalėjo.

3 Artojai ant mano nugaros arė, išvarydami ilgas vagas.

4 Bet teisusis Viešpats nedorėlių pančius sutraukė.

5 Tesusigėsta ir pasitraukia visi, kurie nekenčia Siono.

6 Tebūna jie kaip stogo žolė, kuri, dar neužaugusi, nuvysta;

7 nesusirenka iš jos net sauja pjovėjui nei mažiausias pėdas rišėjui.

8 Praeiviai, eidami pro šalį, nesako jiems: "Tepalaimina tave Viešpats. Mes laiminame tave Viešpaties vardu".
