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.

Cantique des degrés. Ceux qui ont confiance en l’Eternel seront comme la montagne de Sion, qui ne chancelle pas, inébranlable à jamais.

2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.

Jérusalem a des montagnes pour ceinture; ainsi l’Eternel entoure son peuple, maintenant et pour toujours.

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.

Car le sceptre de l’impiété ne se posera pas sur le patrimoine des justes, pour que les justes n’appliquent pas leurs mains au mal.

4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].

Seigneur, fais du bien aux bons, à ceux qui ont le cœur droit.

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!

Mais ceux qui se détournent vers des voies obliques, que l’Eternel les entraîne avec les artisans d’iniquité! Paix sur Israël!
