1 Madalas na ako'y dinalamhati nila mula sa aking kabataan, sabihin ngayon ng Israel,
1 A Song of Ascents.“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,”Let Israel now say,
2 Madalas na ako'y dinalamhati nila mula sa aking kabataan: gayon ma'y hindi sila nanganaig laban sa akin.
2 “Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up;Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 Ang mga mangaararo ay nagsiararo sa aking likod; kanilang pinahaba ang kanilang bungkal.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back;They lengthened their furrows.”
4 Ang Panginoon ay matuwid: kaniyang pinutol ang mga panali ng masama.
4 The Lord is righteous;He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
5 Mapahiya sila at magsitalikod, silang lahat na nangagtatanim ng loob sa Sion.
5 May all who hate ZionBe put to shame and turned backward;
6 Sila'y maging parang damo sa mga bubungan, na natutuyo bago lumaki:
6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops,Which withers before it grows up;
7 Na hindi pinupuno ng manggagapas ang kaniyang kamay niyaon, ni siyang nagtatali man ng mga bigkis, ang kaniyang sinapupunan.
7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand,Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
8 Hindi man sinasabi ng nagsisipagdaan, ang pagpapala ng Panginoon, ay sumainyo nawa; binabasbasan namin kayo sa pangalan ng Panginoon.
8 Nor do those who pass by say,“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
