Psalms 125

1 A song of degrees. They that trust in the Lord, shalbe as mount Zion, which can not be remooued, but remaineth for euer.

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 As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.

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

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, least the righteous put forth their hand vnto wickednes.

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 Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.

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

5 But these that turne aside by their crooked wayes, them shall the Lord leade with the workers of iniquitie: but peace shalbe vpon 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.
