Psalmi 129

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine ;	1 A song of ascents. Much have they oppressed me from my youth, now let Israel say.
2 Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes in vocem deprecationis meæ.	2 Much have they oppressed me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed.
3 Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit ?	3 Upon my back the plowers plowed, as they traced their long furrows.
4 Quia apud te propitiatio est ; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus :	4 But the just LORD cut me free from the ropes of the yoke of the wicked.
5 speravit anima mea in Domino.	5 May they be scattered in disgrace, all who hate Zion.
6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino.	6 May they be like grass on the rooftops withered in early growth,
7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.	7 Never to fill the reaper's hands, nor the arms of the binders of sheaves,
8 Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.	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!"
