Salme 125

1 Sang til Festrejserne. De, der stoler Paa HERREN, er som Zions Bjerg, der aldrig i Evighed rokkes.

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

2 Jerusalem ligger hegnet af Bjerge; og HERREN hegner sit Folk fra nu og til evig Tid:

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

3 Han lader ej Gudløsheds Herskerstav tynge retfærdiges Lod, at retfærdige ikke skal udrække Haanden til Uret.

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

4 HERRE, vær god mod de gode, de oprigtige af Hjertet;

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

5 men dem, der slaar ind paa Krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udaadsmænd. Fred 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.
