Psalms 125

1 [A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

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

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Jehovah surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

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

3 For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

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

4 Do good, Jehovah, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

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

5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.

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