1 愿以色列说： "从我幼年以来， 敌人就多次苦害我。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题） 2 从我幼年以来， 敌人虽然多次苦害我， 却没有胜过我。 3 他们好像犁田的人犁在我的背上， 所犁的沟甚长。 4 但耶和华是公义的， 他砍断了恶人的绳索。" 5 愿所有恨恶锡安的， 都蒙羞退后。 6 愿他们像屋顶上的草， 尚未长大， 就枯干了； 7 收割的不够一把， 捆禾的不够满怀。 8 过路的人也不说： "愿耶和华所赐的福临到你们； 我们奉耶和华的名祝福你们。"

1 A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:2 Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.3 Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.4 Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.5 Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.6 They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,7 That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.8 And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!`
