Ps 129 (King James)

¹ Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
² Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
³ The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
⁴ The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
⁵ Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
⁶ Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
⁷ Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
⁸ Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

Ps 129 (Nouvelle Edition de Genève)

Jugement des oppresseurs

¹ Cantique des degrés.Ils m'ont assez opprimé dès ma jeunesse,- Qu'Israël le dise! -
² Ils m'ont assez opprimé dès ma jeunesse,Mais ils ne m'ont pas vaincu.
³ Des laboureurs ont labouré mon dos,Ils y ont tracé de longs sillons.
⁴ L'Eternel est juste:Il a coupé les cordes des méchants.
⁵ Qu'ils soient confondus et qu'ils reculent,Tous ceux qui haïssent Sion!
⁶ Qu'ils soient comme l'herbe des toits,Qui sèche avant qu'on l'arrache!
⁷ Le moissonneur n'en remplit point sa main,Celui qui lie les gerbes n'en charge point son bras,
⁸ Et les passants ne disent point:Que la bénédiction de l'Eternel soit sur vous!Nous vous bénissons au nom de l'Eternel!

Ps 129 (Vulgate)

¹ Canticum graduum. [De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine ;
² Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes in vocem deprecationis meæ.
³ Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit ?
⁴ Quia apud te propitiatio est ; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus :
⁵ speravit anima mea in Domino.
⁶ A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino.
⁷ Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
⁸ Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.]
