Psalms 125

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.

שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות הַבֹּטְחִ֥ים בַּיהוָ֑ה כְּֽהַר־צִיֹּ֥ון לֹא־יִ֝מֹּ֗וט לְעֹולָ֥ם יֵשֵֽׁב׃

2 Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.

יְֽרוּשָׁלַ֗͏ִם הָרִים֮ סָבִ֪יב לָ֥הּ וַ֭יהוָה סָבִ֣יב לְעַמֹּ֑ו מֵ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עֹולָֽם׃

3 For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.

כִּ֤י לֹ֪א יָנ֡וּחַ שֵׁ֤בֶט הָרֶ֗שַׁע עַל֮ גֹּורַ֪ל הַֽצַּדִּ֫יקִ֥ים לְמַ֡עַן לֹא־יִשְׁלְח֖וּ הַצַּדִּיקִ֨ים בְּעַוְלָ֬תָה יְדֵיהֶֽם׃

4 Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

הֵיטִ֣יבָה יְ֭הוָה לַטֹּובִ֑ים וְ֝לִֽישָׁרִ֗ים בְּלִבֹּותָֽם׃

5 As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

וְהַמַּטִּ֤ים עַֽקַלְקַלֹּותָ֗ם יֹולִיכֵ֣ם יְ֭הוָה אֶת־פֹּעֲלֵ֣י הָאָ֑וֶן שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
