Psalms 125

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.

Sang til Festrejserne. De, der stoler Paa HERREN, er som Zions Bjerg, der aldrig i Evighed rokkes.

2 Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.

Jerusalem ligger hegnet af Bjerge; og HERREN hegner sit Folk fra nu og til evig Tid:

3 For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.

Han lader ej Gudløsheds Herskerstav tynge retfærdiges Lod, at retfærdige ikke skal udrække Haanden til Uret.

4 Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

HERRE, vær god mod de gode, de oprigtige af Hjertet;

5 As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

men dem, der slaar ind paa Krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udaadsmænd. Fred over Israel!
