Salme 125

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

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

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

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

3 Thi Ugudelighedens Spir skal ikke hvile over de retfærdiges Lod, paa det de retfærdige ikke skulle udrække deres Hænder til Uretfærdighed.

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 Gør vel, Herre! imod de gode og imod dem, der ere oprigtige i deres Hjerter.

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

5 Men dem, som bøje ind paa deres Krogveje, skal Herren lade fare bort med dem, som øve Uret. Fred være over Israel!

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!
