Psalms 125

1 A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

(Sang til Festrejserne.) De der stoler På HERREN, er som Zions bjerg, der aldrig i evighed rokkes.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

Jerusalem ligger hegnet af Bjerge; og HERREN hegner sit Folk fra nu og til evig Tid:

3 The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

Han lader ej Gudløsheds Herskerskerstav tynge retfærdiges Lod, at retfærdige ikke skal udrække Hånden til Uret.

4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

HERRE, vær god mod de gode, de oprigtige af Hjertet;

5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.

men dem, der slår ind på krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udådsmænd. Fred over Israel!
