Psalms 125

1 A Song of degrees. They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

He waiata; he pikitanga. Ko te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa ka rite ki Maunga Hiona, e kore nei e taea te whakangaueue, pumau tonu ake ake.

2 Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

Me nga maunga e taiawhio nei i Hiruharama, te karapoti a Ihowa i tona iwi, aianei a ake tonu atu.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

E kore hoki te tokotoko a te whakaarokore e waiho tonu i runga i te wahi o te hunga tika: kei totoro te ringa o te hunga tika ki te kino.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

Kia pai tau mahi, e Ihowa, ki te hunga pai, ki te hunga he tika nei o ratou ngakau.

5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!

Ko te hunga ia e peka ke ana ki o ratou ara kopikopiko, ma Ihowa ratou e arahi tahi atu me nga kaimahi i te kino. Kia mau te rongo ki a Iharaira.
