Psalms 129

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 A song of ascents. Much have they oppressed me from my youth, now let Israel say.	1 Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine ;
2 Much have they oppressed me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed.	2 Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes in vocem deprecationis meæ.
3 Upon my back the plowers plowed, as they traced their long furrows.	3 Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit ?
4 But the just LORD cut me free from the ropes of the yoke of the wicked.	4 Quia apud te propitiatio est ; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus :
5 May they be scattered in disgrace, all who hate Zion.	5 speravit anima mea in Domino.
6 May they be like grass on the rooftops withered in early growth,	6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino.
7 Never to fill the reaper's hands, nor the arms of the binders of sheaves,	7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
8 With none passing by to call out: "The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!"	8 Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.
