Psalms 125

1 A Song of the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Tko se uzda u Jahvu, on je kao brdo Sion: ne pomiče se, ostaje dovijeka.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

Bregovi okružuju Jeruzalem: Jahve okružuje narod svoj odsada i dovijeka.

3 For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.

I neće vladati žezlo bezbožničko nad udesom pravednih, da ne bi pravedni ruke za bezakonjem pružili.

4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.

Učini, Jahve, dobro dobrima i čestitima u srcu.

5 But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.

A koji na krive skreću putove nek' ih istrijebi Jahve sa zločincima! Mir nad Izraelom!
