Salme 125

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

Those who trust in Adonai are as Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

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

As the mountains surround Jerusalem [City of peace], so Adonai surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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

For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the upright; so that the upright won’t use their hands to do evil.

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

Do good, Adonai, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

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

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Adonai will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel [God prevails].
