Psalms

（上行之詩。）以色列當說：從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我，

[A Song of degrees.] Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: {Many...: or, Much}

從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我，卻沒有勝了我。

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. {Many...: or, Much}

如同扶犁的在我背上扶犁而耕，耕的犁溝甚長。

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

耶和華是公義的；他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

The LORD {is} righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

願他們像房頂上的草，未長成而枯乾，

Let them be as the grass {upon} the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

收割的不夠一把，捆禾的也不滿懷。

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

過路的也不說：願耶和華所賜的福歸與你們！我們奉耶和華的名給你們祝福！

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD {be} upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
