Psalms 129

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [Song of Ascents] Often as men have attacked me since I was young -- let Israel repeat it-	1 Canticum ascensionum. Saepe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea, dicat nunc Israel,
2 often as men have attacked me since I was young, they have never overcome me.	2 saepe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea, etenim non potuerunt adversum me.
3 On my back ploughmen have set to work, making long furrows,	3 Supra dorsum meum araverunt aratores, prolongaverunt sulcos suos.
4 but Yahweh the upright has shattered the yoke of the wicked.	4 Dominus autem iustus concidit cervices peccatorum.
5 Let al who hate Zion be thrown back in confusion,	5 Confundantur et convertantur retrorsum omnes, qui oderunt Sion.
6 let them be like grass on a roof, dried up before it is cut,	6 Fiant sicut fenum tectorum, quod, priusquam evellatur, exaruit;
7 never to fil the reaper's arm nor the binder's lap.	7 de quo non implevit manum suam, qui metit, et sinum suum, qui manipulos colligit.
8 And no passer-by wil say, 'The blessing of Yahweh be on you! 'We bless you in the name ofYahweh.'	8 Et non dixerunt, qui praeteribant: “ Benedictio Domini super vos, benedicimus vobis in nomine Domini ”.
