Psalms 128

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

Sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea, dicat nunc Israël;

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου εἰπάτω δὴ Ισραηλ

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea : etenim non potuerunt mihi.

πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησάν μοι

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

Supra dorsum meum fabricaverunt peccatores; prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam.

ἐπὶ τοῦ νώτου μου ἐτέκταινον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί ἐμάκρυναν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

Dominus justus concidit cervices peccatorum.

κύριος δίκαιος συνέκοψεν αὐχένας ἁμαρτωλῶν

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

Confundantur, et convertantur retrorsum omnes qui oderunt Sion.

αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ἀποστραφήτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω πάντες οἱ μισοῦντες Σιων

Let them be as grass upon the tops of houses: which withereth before it be plucked up:

Fiant sicut fœnum tectorum, quod priusquam evellatur exaruit:

γενηθήτωσαν ὡς χόρτος δωμάτων ὃς πρὸ τοῦ ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐξηράνθη

Who with the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

de quo non implevit manum suam qui metit, et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit.

οὗ οὐκ ἐπλήρωσεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὁ θερίζων καὶ τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ ὁ τὰ δράγματα συλλέγων

And they that passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Et non dixerunt qui præteribant : Benedictio Domini super vos. Benediximus vobis in nomine Domini.

καὶ οὐκ εἶπαν οἱ παράγοντες εὐλογία κυρίου ἐφ' ὑμᾶς εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου
