< Psalms 125 >
1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but stays for ever.
Labo abathembela eNkosini banjengentaba iZiyonienganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube phakade.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from now on even for ever.
Njengezintaba ziyiphahlile iJerusalema, ngokunjalo iNkosi iyabaphahla abantu bayo kusukela kulesisikhathi kuze kube nininini.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put 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 be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
Nkosi, yenza okuhle kubo abalungileyo lakubo abaqotho enhliziyweni zabo.
5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be on Israel.
Kodwa labo abaphambukela ezindleleni zabo ezitshekileyo iNkosi izabenza bahambe labenzi bobubi. Ukuthula phezu kukaIsrayeli!
