Salme 125

1 De, som forlade sig paa Herren, de ere som Zions Bjerg, der ikke rokkes, men bliver evindelig.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth for ever.

2 Der er Bjerge trindt omkring Jerusalem, og Herren er trindt omkring sit Folk fra nu og indtil evig Tid.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about his people, Henceforth even 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 sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put 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 the good, To them that are upright in 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 to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
