< 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.
Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. Ko kinautolu ʻoku falala kia Sihova tenau tatau mo e moʻunga ko Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai siʻi faʻa hiki, kae tuʻumaʻu pe ʻo taʻengata.
2 The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.
Hangē ko e takatakai ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga ʻa Selūsalema, ʻoku takatakai pehē ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai mei he ʻaho ni ʻo lauikuonga.
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.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tuku maʻu ʻae tokotoko ʻoe angahala ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe angatonu; telia naʻa mafao atu ʻe he angatonu honau nima ki he angahala.
4 Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.
ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku angalelei, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku angatonu ʻi honau loto.
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.
Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nau afe ki honau ngaahi hala pikopiko, ʻe tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova fakataha mo e kakai fai kovi: ka ʻe hoko ʻae melino ki ʻIsileli.
