Salme 125

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

A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

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

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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

For the sceptre of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

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

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

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

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
