Psalm 125
New International Version
Psalm 125
A song of ascents.
1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,(A)
which cannot be shaken(B) but endures forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,(C)
so the Lord surrounds(D) his people
both now and forevermore.
3 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)
4 Lord, do good(H) to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.(I)
5 But those who turn(J) to crooked ways(K)
the Lord will banish(L) with the evildoers.
Peace be on Israel.(M)
Psaumes 125
La Bible du Semeur
Sécurité inébranlable
125 Cantique pour la route vers la demeure de l’Eternel[a].
Ceux qui ont placé leur confiance ╵en l’Eternel
sont comme le mont de Sion : ╵il n’est pas ébranlé
et subsiste à jamais.
2 Comme Jérusalem ╵est entourée par des montagnes,
l’Eternel entoure son peuple
dès maintenant ╵et à jamais.
3 Un pouvoir criminel ╵ne pourra dominer
sur le territoire échu en partage aux justes,
afin que les justes n’en viennent pas ╵à prêter eux aussi la main ╵à des actes coupables.
4 Fais du bien, Eternel, ╵à celui qui est bon,
à celui qui a le cœur droit !
5 Mais ceux qui se détournent ╵vers des voies tortueuses,
que l’Eternel les chasse
avec tous ceux qui font le mal !
Que la paix soit sur Israël !
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!
