Psalmen 125
Het Boek
125 Een bedevaartslied.
Wie in alles op de Here vertrouwt,
is onwankelbaar als de berg van Jeruzalem,
die er voor altijd is.
2 Zoals rondom Jeruzalem bergen liggen,
zo is de Here rondom zijn volk.
Niet alleen nu,
maar altijd en tot in de eeuwigheid.
3 Want het land van de gelovigen zal niet
onder de tirannie van de goddeloze vijand blijven zuchten.
De gelovigen zullen dan ook niet komen tot onrechtmatige daden.
4 Here, wilt U het goede doen
voor eerlijke, goede mensen?
5 Als iemand echter van de rechte weg afdwaalt,
zal hij, samen met de ongelovigen,
door de Here worden vernietigd.
Laat er vrede zijn in Israël!
Psalm 125
King James Version
125 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 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
English Standard Version
The Lord Surrounds His People
A Song of (A)Ascents.
125 Those who (B)trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which (C)cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so (D)the Lord surrounds his people,
from this time forth and forevermore.
3 For (E)the scepter of wickedness shall not (F)rest
on (G)the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous (H)stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
4 (I)Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are (J)upright in their hearts!
5 But those who (K)turn aside to their (L)crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with (M)evildoers!
(N)Peace be upon Israel!
