A Song of degrees.
1 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.
Cerība nepamet kaunā
1 Augšupceļa dziesma.
Kas uz Kungu paļaujas, tie kā Ciānas kalns –
pat nekust, mūžam paliek uz vietas.
2 Jeruzāleme – kalni visapkārt tai,
un Kungs visapkārt savai tautai –
no šā brīža līdz mūžībai.
3 Nesliesies ļaundaru spieķis
pār novadu, ko taisnie mantojuši, –
lai arī taisnie nestiepj
pēc netaisnības savas rokas!
4 Dari, Kungs, labajiem labu
un tiem, kas sirdī skaidri,
5 bet, kas noklīst greizos ceļos,
lai Kungs aiztriec nekrietnajiem līdzi!
Miers Israēlam!
