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.

Þeir sem treysta Drottni eru eins og Síonfjall, þeir haggast ekki.

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

Fjöllin umhverfis Jerúsalem eru henni til verndar, eins er Drottinn, hann umlykur og verndar sitt fólk.

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.

Ekki skulu óguðlegir drottna yfir trúuðum, né réttlátir þvingaðir til illverka.

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

Ó, Drottinn, gerðu vel við þá sem góðir eru, þá sem leitast við að gera vilja þinn,

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.

en útrýmdu illgjörðamönnum. Láttu frið og velgengni ríkja í Ísrael.
