תְהִלִּים 125

1 שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות הַבֹּטְחִ֥ים בַּיהוָ֑ה כְּֽהַר־צִיֹּ֥ון לֹא־יִ֝מֹּ֗וט לְעֹולָ֥ם יֵשֵֽׁב׃

A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

2 יְֽרוּשָׁלַ֗͏ִם הָרִים֮ סָבִ֪יב לָ֥הּ וַ֭יהוָה סָבִ֣יב לְעַמֹּ֑ו מֵ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עֹולָֽם׃

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

3 כִּ֤י לֹ֪א יָנ֡וּחַ שֵׁ֤בֶט הָרֶ֗שַׁע עַל֮ גֹּורַ֪ל הַֽצַּדִּ֫יקִ֥ים לְמַ֡עַן לֹא־יִשְׁלְח֖וּ הַצַּדִּיקִ֨ים בְּעַוְלָ֬תָה יְדֵיהֶֽם׃

The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

4 הֵיטִ֣יבָה יְ֭הוָה לַטֹּובִ֑ים וְ֝לִֽישָׁרִ֗ים בְּלִבֹּותָֽם׃

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 וְהַמַּטִּ֤ים עַֽקַלְקַלֹּותָ֗ם יֹולִיכֵ֣ם יְ֭הוָה אֶת־פֹּעֲלֵ֣י הָאָ֑וֶן שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
