Psalms 125

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

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

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

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

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

4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who 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 to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.

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