< Psalms 125 >
1 Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.
上行之诗。 倚靠耶和华的人 好像锡安山,永不动摇。
2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.
众山怎样围绕耶路撒冷, 耶和华也照样围绕他的百姓, 从今时直到永远。
3 Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.
恶人的杖不常落在义人的分上, 免得义人伸手作恶。
4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].
耶和华啊,求你善待那些为善 和心里正直的人。
5 But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
至于那偏行弯曲道路的人, 耶和华必使他和作恶的人一同出去受刑。 愿平安归于以色列!
