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.

De, som forlade sig paa Herren, de ere som Zions Bjerg, der ikke rokkes, men bliver evindelig.

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

Der er Bjerge trindt omkring Jerusalem, og Herren er trindt omkring sit Folk fra nu og indtil evig Tid.

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.

Thi Ugudelighedens Spir skal ikke hvile over de retfærdiges Lod, paa det de retfærdige ikke skulle udrække deres Hænder til Uretfærdighed.

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

Gør vel, Herre! imod de gode og imod dem, der ere oprigtige i deres Hjerter.

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.

Men dem, som bøje ind paa deres Krogveje, skal Herren lade fare bort med dem, som øve Uret. Fred være over Israel!
