Psalms 125:3 in Context — Psalms 125
1 Cantique des degrés. Ceux qui se confient en l’Éternel Sont comme la montagne de Sion: elle ne chancelle point, Elle est affermie pour toujours.
2 Des montagnes entourent Jérusalem; Ainsi l’Éternel entoure son peuple, Dès maintenant et à jamais.
3 Car le sceptre de la méchanceté ne restera pas sur le lot des justes, Afin que les justes ne tendent pas les mains vers l’iniquité.
4 Éternel, répands tes bienfaits sur les bons Et sur ceux dont le cœur est droit!
5 Mais ceux qui s’engagent dans des voies détournées, Que l’Éternel les détruise avec ceux qui font le mal! Que la paix soit sur Israël!
