Psalms 125

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

Labo abathembela eNkosini banjengentaba iZiyonienganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube phakade.

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

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

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.

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

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

Nkosi, yenza okuhle kubo abalungileyo lakubo abaqotho enhliziyweni zabo.

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

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