Salmos 125

Te Maru o te Iwi a Ihowā

He waiata; he pikitanga.

1 Ko te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowā ka rite ki Maunga Hiona,

e kore nei e taea te whakangāueue, pūmau tonu ake ake.

2 Me ngā maunga e taiāwhio nei i Hiruhārama,

te karapoti a Ihowā i tōna iwi,

āianei ā ake tonu atu.

3 E kore hoki te tokotoko a te whakaarokore

e waiho tonu i runga i te wāhi o te hunga tika,

kei totoro te ringa o te hunga tika ki te kino.

4 Kia pai tāu mahi, e Ihowā, ki te, hunga pai,

ki te hunga he tika nei ō rātou ngākau.

5 Ko te hunga ia e peka kē ana ki ō rātou ara kōpikopiko,

mā Ihowā rātou e ārahi tahi atu me ngā kaimahi i te kino.

Kia mau te rongo ki a Īharaira!

A Song of Ascents.

1 They that trust in Jehovah

Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,

So Jehovah is round about his people

From this time forth and for evermore.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;

That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,

And to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,

Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel.
