Psalms 125

1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

Sang til Festrejserne. De, der stoler Paa HERREN, er som Zions Bjerg, der aldrig i Evighed rokkes.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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

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

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

4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, 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 away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

men dem, der slaar ind paa Krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udaadsmænd. Fred over Israel!
