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 På 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 Herskerskerstav tynge retfærdiges Lod, at retfærdige ikke skal udrække Hånden 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 slår ind på krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udådsmænd. Fred over Israel!
