上帝保护祂的子民

上圣殿朝圣之诗。

125 信靠耶和华的人就像锡安山永不动摇。
群山怎样环绕耶路撒冷,
耶和华也怎样保护祂的子民,
从现在直到永远。
恶人必不能长久统治义人的土地,
免得义人也去行恶。
耶和华啊,求你善待行善的人,
善待心地正直的人。
耶和华必把那些偏行恶道的人与作恶的人一同赶走。
愿平安临到以色列。

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)

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

125 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
    They will always be secure. They will last forever.
Like the mountains around Jerusalem,
    the Lord is all around his people
    both now and forever.

Evil people will not always rule
    the land the Lord gave to those who do right.
If they did, those who do right
    might do what is evil.

Lord, do good to those who are good.
    Do good to those whose hearts are honest.
But the Lord will drive out those who have taken crooked paths.
    He will drive them out with those who do evil things.

May Israel enjoy peace.
