Sálmarnir 125

1 Þeir sem treysta Drottni eru eins og Síonfjall, þeir haggast ekki.

“A song of the degrees.” Those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, which will not he moved, which endureth for ever.

2 Fjöllin umhverfis Jerúsalem eru henni til verndar, eins er Drottinn, hann umlykur og verndar sitt fólk.

Jerusalem hath mountains round about her: and [so] is the Lord round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.

3 Ekki skulu óguðlegir drottna yfir trúuðum, né réttlátir þvingaðir til illverka.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous: in order that the righteous may not stretch forth their hands unto wrong-doing.

4 Ó, Drottinn, gerðu vel við þá sem góðir eru, þá sem leitast við að gera vilja þinn,

Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and to those that are upright in their hearts.

5 en útrýmdu illgjörðamönnum. Láttu frið og velgengni ríkja í Ísrael.

But as for those who turn aside unto their crooked ways, them will the Lord drive away with the workers of wickedness; but peace shall be upon Israel.
