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.
Mbakililo ye bathu be Ndzimu
1 Ibabo banogalabgwe muna Yahwe banonga Dombo le Ziyoni,
lisingake likatshedugwa, koga lakadzikila nge kusingapele kose.
2 Se matombo akapoteleka Jerusalema,
Yahwe na ibobo bakapoteleka bathu babo,
kudwa sangwenu kunoti nge kusingapele kose.
3 Swimbo ye bushe gwe mbipo aingagale
mu shango yakapiwa balulwami,
kuti ndizo balulwami basitongo tambunudza
maboko abo kuthama bubi.
4 Thamilani ndulamo ibabo bakalulwama imwi Yahwe,
nanga ibabo be mimoyo yakatambunuka.
5 Koga ibabo banoyendila ntome kwe zila dzabo dzakakombama,
Yahwe banobatatila kutjena ne bashingi be mbipo.
Kunyalala ngakubepo mu Iziraela!
