Salme 125

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

A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

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

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

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

The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

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

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

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

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
