Dios protege a su pueblo

SALMO 125 (124)

Cántico para las peregrinaciones.

125 Los que confían en Dios
son como el monte Sión,
que nadie puede moverlo.
¡Permanecerán para siempre!

Las montañas protegen a Jerusalén,
y Dios protege a Israel
ahora y siempre.

No siempre los malvados
reinarán sobre el pueblo de Dios,
para que la gente buena
no practique la maldad.

4-5 Dios mío,
trata bien a la gente de buen corazón
pero deja que sean destruidos,
junto con los malhechores,
los que prefieren hacer lo malo.

¡Que haya paz en Israel!

Psalm 125[a]

Israel’s Protector

A song of ascents.

Those trusting in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    unshakable, forever enduring.(A)
As mountains surround Jerusalem,
    the Lord surrounds his people
    both now and forever.(B)

The scepter of the wicked will not prevail
    in the land allotted to the just,[b]
Lest the just themselves
    turn their hands to evil.

Do good, Lord, to the good,
    to those who are upright of heart.(C)
But those who turn aside to crooked ways
    may the Lord send down with the evildoers.(D)
Peace upon Israel!(E)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 125 In response to exilic anxieties about the ancient promises of restoration, the Psalm expresses confidence that God will surround the people as the mountains surround Zion (Ps 125:1–2). The just will not be contaminated by the wicked (Ps 125:3). May God judge between the two groups (Ps 125:4–5).
  2. 125:3 The land allotted to the just: lit., “the lot of the righteous.” The promised land was divided among the tribes of Israel by lot (Nm 26:55; Jos 18). The righteous are the members of the people who are obedient to God. If the domination of the wicked were to continue in the land, even the just would be infected by their evil attitudes.

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)
