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

(Sang til Festrejserne.) De der stoler På HERREN, er som Zions bjerg, der aldrig i evighed rokkes.

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

Jerusalem ligger hegnet af Bjerge; og HERREN hegner sit Folk fra nu og til 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.

Han lader ej Gudløsheds Herskerskerstav tynge retfærdiges Lod, at retfærdige ikke skal udrække Hånden til Uret.

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

HERRE, vær god mod de gode, de oprigtige af Hjertet;

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

men dem, der slår ind på krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udådsmænd. Fred over Israel!
