< Salme 125 >
1 De, som forlade sig paa Herren, de ere som Zions Bjerg, der ikke rokkes, men bliver evindelig.
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2 Der er Bjerge trindt omkring Jerusalem, og Herren er trindt omkring sit Folk fra nu og indtil evig Tid.
In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3 Thi Ugudelighedens Spir skal ikke hvile over de retfærdiges Lod, paa det de retfærdige ikke skulle udrække deres Hænder til Uretfærdighed.
For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Gør vel, Herre! imod de gode og imod dem, der ere oprigtige i deres Hjerter.
Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5 Men dem, som bøje ind paa deres Krogveje, skal Herren lade fare bort med dem, som øve Uret. Fred være over Israel!
But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
