Psalms 125

1 A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells

Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. Ko kinautolu ʻoku falala kia Sihova tenau tatau mo e moʻunga ko Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai siʻi faʻa hiki, kae tuʻumaʻu pe ʻo taʻengata.

2 in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.

Hangē ko e takatakai ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga ʻa Selūsalema, ʻoku takatakai pehē ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai mei he ʻaho ni ʻo lauikuonga.

3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.

Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tuku maʻu ʻae tokotoko ʻoe angahala ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe angatonu; telia naʻa mafao atu ʻe he angatonu honau nima ki he angahala.

4 Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.

‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku angalelei, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku angatonu ʻi honau loto.

5 But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nau afe ki honau ngaahi hala pikopiko, ʻe tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova fakataha mo e kakai fai kovi: ka ʻe hoko ʻae melino ki ʻIsileli.
