Psalms 125

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth for ever.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Tko se uzda u Jahvu, on je kao brdo Sion: ne pomiče se, ostaje dovijeka.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about his people, Henceforth even for ever!

Bregovi okružuju Jeruzalem: Jahve okružuje narod svoj odsada i dovijeka.

3 For the sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

I neće vladati žezlo bezbožničko nad udesom pravednih, da ne bi pravedni ruke za bezakonjem pružili.

4 Do good, O LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in heart!

Učini, Jahve, dobro dobrima i čestitima u srcu.

5 But such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!

A koji na krive skreću putove nek' ih istrijebi Jahve sa zločincima! Mir nad Izraelom!
