Psalms 125

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

(Sang til Festrejserne.) De der stoler På HERREN, er som Zions bjerg, der aldrig i evighed rokkes.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Jerusalem ligger hegnet af Bjerge; og HERREN hegner sit Folk fra nu og til evig Tid :

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

Han lader ej Gudløsheds Herskerskerstav tynge retfærdiges Lod, at retfærdige ikke skal udrække Hånden til Uret.

Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

HERRE, vær god mod de gode, de oprigtige af Hjertet;

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

men dem, der slår ind på krogveje, dem bortdrive HERREN tillige med Udådsmænd. Fred over Israel!
