المَزامِير 125

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ الْوَاثِقُونَ بِالرَّبِّ هُمْ مِثْلُ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ الرَّاسِخِ الَّذِي لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.

٢ 2 كَمَا تُحِيطُ الْجِبَالُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ، كَذَلِكَ يُحِيطُ الرَّبُّ بِشَعْبِهِ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ،

In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.

٣ 3 فَلَا يَتَسَلَّطُ الأَشْرَارُ عَلَى نَصِيبِ الأَبْرَارِ لِئَلّا يَمُدَّ الأَبْرَارُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى الإِثْمِ.

The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.

٤ 4 أَحْسِنْ يَا رَبُّ إِلَى الأَخْيَارِ وَإِلَى ذَوِي الْقُلُوبِ الْمُسْتَقِيمَةِ.

Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.

٥ 5 أَمَّا الَّذِينَ يَحِيدُونَ إِلَى طُرُقٍ مُلْتَوِيَةٍ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسُوقُهُمْ إِلَى الْهَلاكِ مَعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. لِيَكُنِ السَّلامُ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—those the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace!
