Psalms 128

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LA SACRA BIBBIA
1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:	1 Canto delle ascensioni. Beati tutti quelli che temono il Signore e camminano nelle sue vie!
2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.	2 Della fatica delle tue mani certamente mangerai. Beato te: avrai prosperità.
3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.	3 La tua sposa come vite feconda nell'intimità della tua casa; i tuoi figli come virgulti d'olivo, intorno alla tua mensa.
4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.	4 Ecco com'è benedetto l'uomo che teme il Signore.
5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.	5 Ti benedica il Signore da Sion, affinché tu goda della prosperità di Gerusalemme, per tutti i giorni della tua vita.
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:	6 Possa tu vedere i figli dei tuoi figli. Pace su Israele!
7 with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.
8 And those who were passing by have not said to them: “The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”
