125:1

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת הַבֹּטְחִים בַּיהֹוָה כְּֽהַר־צִיּוֹן לֹא־יִמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵֽׁב׃

A Ma῾alot Poem. They who trust in the Lord shall be like mount Żiyyon, which cannot be removed, but abides for ever.

Rashi

שיר המעלות הבוטחים בה'. לא ימוטו כהר ציון אשר לא ימוט כי כאשר ירושלים הרים סביב לה כן הקב"ה סביב לעמו:

125:2

יְֽרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם הָרִים סָבִיב לָהּ וַיהֹוָה סָבִיב לְעַמּוֹ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

As the mountains are round about Yerushalayim, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth and forever.

125:3

כִּי לֹא יָנוּחַ שֵׁבֶט הָרֶשַׁע עַל גּוֹרַל הַֽצַּדִּיקִים לְמַעַן לֹא־יִשְׁלְחוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּעַוְלָתָה יְדֵיהֶֽם׃

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the share allotted to the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to do wrong.

Rashi

כי לא ינוח שבט הרשע על גורל הצדיקים. (כי לא יתן הקב"ה את ממשלת הרשעים לנוח על הצדיקים) למען כי הצדיקים נזהרין מלשלוח ידיהם בעולה:

125:4

הֵיטִיבָה יְהֹוָה לַטּוֹבִים וְלִישָׁרִים בְּלִבּוֹתָֽם׃

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.

125:5

וְהַמַּטִּים עֲֽקַלְקַלּוֹתָם יוֹלִיכֵם יְהֹוָה אֶת־פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן שָׁלוֹם עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {פ}

As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them away with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Yisra᾽el.
