< Psalms 125 >
1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.
Svētku dziesma. Kas uz To Kungu cerē, tie nešaubīsies, bet mūžīgi stāvēs, kā Ciānas kalns.
2 In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.
Ap Jeruzālemi ir kalni, bet Tas Kungs ir ap Saviem ļaudīm no šī laika mūžīgi.
3 The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.
Jo bezdievības scepteris nepaliks pār taisno ļaužu mantas daļu, ka tie taisnie neizstiepj savas rokas pie netaisnības.
4 Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.
Kungs, dari labu labiem un tiem, kas savā sirdī skaidri.
5 But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—those the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace!
Bet kas nogriežas uz saviem līkiem ceļiem, tos Tas Kungs aizdzīs ar ļauna darītājiem; bet miers lai ir pār Israēli.
