ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 128

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ωδη των αναβαθμων πλεονακις επολεμησαν με εκ νεοτητος μου ειπατω δη ισραηλ	1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
2 πλεονακις επολεμησαν με εκ νεοτητος μου και γαρ ουκ ηδυνηθησαν μοι	2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.
3 επι του νωτου μου ετεκταινον οι αμαρτωλοι εμακρυναν την ανομιαν αυτων	3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.
4 κυριος δικαιος συνεκοψεν αυχενας αμαρτωλων	4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.
5 αισχυνθητωσαν και αποστραφητωσαν εις τα οπισω παντες οι μισουντες σιων	5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.
6 γενηθητωσαν ως χορτος δωματων ος προ του εκσπασθηναι εξηρανθη	6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:
7 ου ουκ επληρωσεν την χειρα αυτου ο θεριζων και τον κολπον αυτου ο τα δραγματα συλλεγων	7 with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.
8 και ουκ ειπαν οι παραγοντες ευλογια κυριου εφ' υμας ευλογηκαμεν υμας εν ονοματι κυριου	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.”
