< Zaburi 125 >
1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wale wamtumainio Bwana ni kama mlima Sayuni, ambao hauwezi kutikisika, bali wadumu milele.
A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.
2 Kama milima inavyozunguka Yerusalemu, ndivyo Bwana anavyowazunguka watu wake sasa na hata milele.
The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.
3 Fimbo ya waovu haitadumu juu ya nchi waliopewa wenye haki, ili wenye haki wasije wakatumia mikono yao kutenda ubaya.
For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Ee Bwana, watendee mema walio wema, wale walio wanyofu wa moyo.
Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.
5 Bali wale wanaogeukia njia zilizopotoka, Bwana atawafukuza pamoja na watenda mabaya. Amani iwe juu ya Israeli.
But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
