Psalms 125

1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

Sang til Festrejserne. De, der stoler Paa HERREN, er som Zions Bjerg, der aldrig i Evighed rokkes.

2 In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

Jerusalem ligger hegnet af Bjerge; og HERREN hegner sit Folk fra nu og til evig Tid:

3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

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

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

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

5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.

men dem, der slaar ind paa Krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udaadsmænd. Fred over Israel!
