Psaltaren 125
Svenska Folkbibeln
Psalm 125
Herren beskyddar sitt folk
1 En vallfartssång.
De som förtröstar på Herren är som Sions berg.
Det rubbas inte, det står kvar för evigt.
2 Jerusalem omges av berg,
och Herren omger sitt folk
från nu och till evig tid.
3 Ogudaktighetens spira skall inte vila
över de rättfärdigas arvslott,
för att de rättfärdiga inte skall räcka ut
sina händer till orättfärdighet.
4 Gör gott, Herre, mot de goda,
mot dem som har uppriktiga hjärtan.
5 Men dem som viker av på krokiga vägar
skall Herren föra bort
tillsammans med ogärningsmännen.
Frid över Israel!
Psalm 125
Contemporary English Version
(A song for worship.)
The Lord's People Are Safe
1 Everyone who trusts the Lord
is like Mount Zion
that cannot be shaken
and will stand forever.
2 Just as Jerusalem is protected
by mountains on every side,
the Lord protects his people
by holding them in his arms
now and forever.
3 He won't let the wicked
rule his people
or lead them to do wrong.
4 Let's ask the Lord to be kind
to everyone who is good
and completely obeys him.
5 When the Lord punishes
the wicked,
he will punish everyone else
who lives an evil life.
Pray for peace in Israel!
Psalm 125
Common English Bible
Psalm 125
A pilgrimage song.
125 The people who trust in the Lord
are like Mount Zion:
never shaken, lasting forever.
2 Mountains surround Jerusalem.
That’s how the Lord surrounds his people
from now until forever from now!
3 The wicked rod won’t remain
in the land given to the righteous
so that they don’t use their hands to do anything wrong.[a]
4 Lord, do good to people who are good,
to people whose hearts are right.
5 But as for those people who turn to their own twisted ways—
may the Lord march them off with other evildoers!
Peace be on Israel!
