Psalms 125

1 “A song of the degrees.” Those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, which will not he moved, which endureth for ever.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Tko se uzda u Jahvu, on je kao brdo Sion: ne pomiče se, ostaje dovijeka.

2 Jerusalem hath mountains round about her: and [so] is the Lord round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.

Bregovi okružuju Jeruzalem: Jahve okružuje narod svoj odsada i dovijeka.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous: in order that the righteous may not stretch forth their hands unto wrong-doing.

I neće vladati žezlo bezbožničko nad udesom pravednih, da ne bi pravedni ruke za bezakonjem pružili.

4 Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and to those that are upright in their hearts.

Učini, Jahve, dobro dobrima i čestitima u srcu.

5 But as for those who turn aside unto their crooked ways, them will the Lord drive away with the workers of wickedness; but peace shall be upon Israel.

A koji na krive skreću putove nek' ih istrijebi Jahve sa zločincima! Mir nad Izraelom!
