1A Song of Ascents. 'Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,' Let Israel now say,
1（上行之詩。）以色列當說：從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我，
2'Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
2從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我，卻沒有勝了我。
3'The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.'
3如同扶犁的在我背上扶犁而耕，耕的犁溝甚長。
4The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
4耶和華是公義的；他砍斷了惡人的繩索。
5May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
5願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！
6Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;
6願他們像房頂上的草，未長成而枯乾，
7With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
7收割的不夠一把，捆禾的也不滿懷。
8Nor do those who pass by say, 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD.'
8過路的也不說：願耶和華所賜的福歸與你們！我們奉耶和華的名給你們祝福！
