詩篇 125

1 上行之詩。 倚靠耶和華的人 好像錫安山，永不動搖。

Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.

2 眾山怎樣圍繞耶路撒冷， 耶和華也照樣圍繞他的百姓， 從今時直到永遠。

Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.

3 惡人的杖不常落在義人的分上， 免得義人伸手作惡。

Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.

4 耶和華啊，求你善待那些為善 和心裏正直的人。

Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].

5 至於那偏行彎曲道路的人， 耶和華必使他和作惡的人一同出去受刑。 願平安歸於以色列！

But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
