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.

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

2 The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

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

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.

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

4 Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.

Učini, Jahve, dobro dobrima i čestitima u srcu.

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.

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