Psalm 125

A Song of degrees.

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.

Psalm 125

A song for those journeying to worship.

All who have faith in the Eternal stand as Mount Zion:
    unmoved, enduring, eternal.
Just as the mountains around Jerusalem embrace her,
    the Eternal, too, wraps around those who belong to Him—
    for this moment and for every moment to come.
For wickedness will not get the upper hand;
    it shall not rule the land where righteous people live
Lest good people go bad
    and do what is wrong.
Be good, Eternal One, to those who are good,
    to those who are filled with integrity.
The Eternal will send all the wicked away
    along with those who pervert what’s good and twist it in their own crooked way.
    May peace be with Israel.

125 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 восхождения, Сулеймана.
