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".

1 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.

Let Israel now say:

2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,

yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed on my back.

They made their furrows long.

4 Yahweh is righteous.

He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward,

all those who hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,

which withers before it grows up,

7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand,

nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

8 Neither do those who go by say,

"The blessing of Yahweh be on you.

We bless you in Yahweh’s name."
