Žalmy

Biblia - Sväté písmo

(CPDV - Anglický - Catholic PD)

Ž 125, 1-7

1 A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled. 2 Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: “The Lord has done great things for them.” 3 The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful. 4 Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south. 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation. 6 When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds. 7 But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.

Z 125 - Žalm je výzvou k ľudu, aby dúfal v Pána aj uprostred ťažkých skúšok, ktoré doliehajú na vyvolený národ.

Z 125,1 - O vrchu Sion Boh často sľubuje, že sa nepohne (Iz 2,2; Mich 4,1; Ž 68,17).

Z 125,2 - Jeruzalem, ako je známe, bol postavený na vrchu a zovšadiaľ, okrem severu, mal skvelú hradbu vrchov.

Z 125,5 - Mnohí z Izraelitov odpadli, dali sa zastrašiť. Pán ich zahubí s tými, čo nevedia rozlišovať dobro od zla.
