Psalms 125

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

Ingoma yemiqanso. Labo abamethembayo uThixo banjengentaba iZiyoni, yona enganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube laphakade.

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

Njengezintaba ezigombolozele iJerusalema, ngokunjalo uThixo uzungeza abantu bakhe manje kuze kube laphakade.

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.

Intonga yobukhosi eyababi kayiyikusala ezweni elabelwe abalungileyo, ngoba abalungileyo bangaqabuka sebesebenzisa izandla zabo ukwenza okubi.

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

Yenza okuhle, awu Thixo, kulabo abalungileyo, kulabo abaqotho enhliziyweni

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

kodwa labo abaphambukela ezindleleni ezitshekileyo uThixo uzabaxotsha kanye labenzi bobubi. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.
