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!
The Security of God's People
1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which can never be shaken, never be moved.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people,
now and forever.
3 The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous;
if they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.
4 Lord, do good to those who are good,
to those who obey your commands.
5 But when you punish the wicked,
punish also those who abandon your ways.
Peace be with Israel!
