Salme 125

1 (Sang til Festrejserne.) De der stoler På HERREN, er som Zions bjerg, der aldrig i evighed rokkes.

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

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about his people, Henceforth even for ever!

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

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

Do good, O LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in heart!

5 men dem, der slår ind på krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udådsmænd. Fred over Israel!

But such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
