Psalms 128

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL
1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:	1 [Ein Wallfahrtslied.] Wohl dem Mann, der den Herrn fürchtet und ehrt und der auf seinen Wegen geht!
2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.	2 Was deine Hände erwarben, kannst du genießen; wohl dir, es wird dir gut ergehn.
3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.	3 Wie ein fruchtbarer Weinstock ist deine Frau drinnen in deinem Haus. Wie junge Ölbäume sind deine Kinder rings um deinen Tisch.
4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.	4 So wird der Mann gesegnet, der den Herrn fürchtet und ehrt.
5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.	5 Es segne dich der Herr vom Zion her. Du sollst dein Leben lang das Glück Jerusalems schauen
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:	6 und die Kinder deiner Kinder sehn. Frieden über Israel!
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.”
