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

Labo abathembela eNkosini banjengentaba iZiyonienganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube phakade.

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

Njengezintaba ziyiphahlile iJerusalema, ngokunjalo iNkosi iyabaphahla abantu bayo kusukela kulesisikhathi kuze kube nininini.

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.

Ngoba intonga yobukhosi yobubi kayiyikuhlala phezu kwesabelo sabalungileyo, ukuze abalungileyo bangeluleli izandla zabo kokubi.

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

Nkosi, yenza okuhle kubo abalungileyo lakubo abaqotho enhliziyweni zabo.

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

Kodwa labo abaphambukela ezindleleni zabo ezitshekileyo iNkosi izabenza bahambe labenzi bobubi. Ukuthula phezu kukaIsrayeli!
