< Psalms 125 >
1 A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.
O KA poe hilinai aku ia Iehova, E like no lakou me ka mauna o Ziona, Aole ia e naue, e noho mau loa no.
2 The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.
Ua puni o Ierusalema i na mauna, Pela o Iehova e hoopuni ai i kona poe kanaka, Mai keia wa aku, a i ka manawa pau ole.
3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
Aole e waihoia ke kookoo o ka poe hewa, Ma ka puu o ka poe pono; O kau aku ka poe pono i ko lakou lima ma ka hewa.
4 Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.
E hana maikai mai oe, e Iehova, i ka poe maikai, A i ka poe hoi i pololei ma ko lakou naau.
5 But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
O ka poe kapae ma ko lakou ala keekee, E alakai pu aku no o Iehova ia lakou me ka poe hana lapuwale; A he malu no maluna o ka Iseraela.
