< Psalms 125 >
1 A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.
上行之詩。 倚靠耶和華的人 好像錫安山,永不動搖。
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.
眾山怎樣圍繞耶路撒冷, 耶和華也照樣圍繞他的百姓, 從今時直到永遠。
3 The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.
惡人的杖不常落在義人的分上, 免得義人伸手作惡。
4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.
耶和華啊,求你善待那些為善 和心裏正直的人。
5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
至於那偏行彎曲道路的人, 耶和華必使他和作惡的人一同出去受刑。 願平安歸於以色列!
