1 “ They have made it hard for me many times since I was young,” let Israel now say.

Muchas veces me han perseguido desde mi juventud, —diga ahora Israel —

2 “ They have made it hard for me many times since I was young. But they have not won over me.

muchas veces me han perseguido desde mi juventud, pero no han prevalecido contra mí.

3 T hose who plow have plowed my back. And they have made their ditches long.”

Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores; alargaron sus surcos.

4 T he Lord is right and good. He has cut in two the ropes of the sinful.

El Señor es justo; ha cortado las coyundas de los impíos.

5 M ay all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned away.

Sean avergonzados y vueltos atrás todos los que odian a Sion.

6 L et them be like grass on the roof, which dries up before it grows.

Sean como hierba en los techos, que se seca antes de crecer.

7 N o one can pick it and fill his hand. No one can gather it and fill his arms.

Con la cual el segador no llena su mano, ni el recogedor de gavillas sus brazos.

8 A nd those who pass by do not say, “May the Lord be good to you. We pray that good will come to you in the name of the Lord.”

Y no les digan los que pasan: La bendición del Señor sea sobre vosotros; os bendecimos en el nombre del Señor.
