Psalms 125

1 A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells

De, som forlade sig paa Herren, de ere som Zions Bjerg, der ikke rokkes, men bliver evindelig.

2 in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.

Der er Bjerge trindt omkring Jerusalem, og Herren er trindt omkring sit Folk fra nu og indtil evig Tid.

3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.

Thi Ugudelighedens Spir skal ikke hvile over de retfærdiges Lod, paa det de retfærdige ikke skulle udrække deres Hænder til Uretfærdighed.

4 Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.

Gør vel, Herre! imod de gode og imod dem, der ere oprigtige i deres Hjerter.

5 But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

Men dem, som bøje ind paa deres Krogveje, skal Herren lade fare bort med dem, som øve Uret. Fred være over Israel!
