Psalms 125

1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth 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 henceforth 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 upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

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

4 Do good, O LORD, unto [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 unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

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