125 Песнь восхождения.

Когда вернул Господь пленных на Сион,
    мы были как бы во сне.
Тогда уста наши были наполнены смехом,
    и язык наш – пением.
Тогда говорили народы:
    «Великие дела сотворил для них Господь».
Великие дела сотворил для нас Господь,
    и мы радовались.

Верни нам благополучие, Господи,
    как реки в пустыне Негев.
Сеявшие со слезами
    будут пожинать с возгласами радости.
С плачем несущий суму с семенами
    с радостью возвратится,
    неся свои снопы.

Когда Вечный вернул благополучие Сиону,
    мы были как бы во сне.
Тогда мы смеялись
    и пели радостные песни.
Тогда говорили народы:
    «Великие дела сотворил для них Вечный».
Великие дела сотворил для нас Вечный,
    и мы полны радости.

Верни нам благополучие, Вечный,
    как высохшие русла рек в пустыне Негев
    вновь наполняются водой.
Сеявшие со слезами
    будут пожинать с радостью.
С плачем несущий суму с семенами
    с радостью возвратится,
    неся свои снопы.

Песнь 126

Песнь восхождения, Сулаймона.

Psalm 125

A song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,(A)
    which cannot be shaken(B) but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,(C)
    so the Lord surrounds(D) his people
    both now and forevermore.

The scepter(E) of the wicked will not remain(F)
    over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.(G)

Lord, do good(H) to those who are good,
    to those who are upright in heart.(I)
But those who turn(J) to crooked ways(K)
    the Lord will banish(L) with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.(M)

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

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

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

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

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.

The Lord the Strength of His People

A Song of Ascents.

125 Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

For (A)the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
And to those who are upright in their hearts.

As for such as turn aside to their (B)crooked ways,
The Lord shall lead them away
With the workers of iniquity.

(C)Peace be upon Israel!
