Salmos 125:5

5 Mas a los que se apartan tras sus perversidades, el SEÑOR los llevará con los que obran iniquidad; y paz sea sobre Israel

Salmos 125:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 125:5

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways
The ways of sin, immorality, or error; which are crooked ways, not agreeing with the word of God, the rule of faith and practice. This seems to design not openly profane sinners, who have always lived in a course of sin and wickedness; but carnal professors, who, through affliction and persecution because of the word, are offended, and desert the good ways of God; and turn from the holy commandment, word, and ordinances, they have professionally embraced;

the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity;
the Targum adds,

``to hell.''

These hypocrites shall be led forth by the Lord with abandoned sinners, like malefactors to the place of execution; when he shall bid them depart from him, and they shall go into everlasting fire; and if there is any place in hell hotter than another, those shall have it; see ( Matthew 7:23 ) ( 25:41 ) ( 24:51 ) ;

[but] peace [shall be] upon Israel;
upon every true Israelite, upon the whole Israel of God; the apostle seems to have respect to this passage in ( Galatians 6:16 ) ; such shall have spiritual peace in their hearts now, and eternal peace hereafter. The words may be read either as a prayer that it might be, or as a prophecy that it should be; and may have regard unto the latter day, when all the enemies of Christ and his church shall be destroyed, and there shall be abundance of peace, so long as the moon endures, ( Psalms 72:7 ) . Aben Ezra observes, that the psalmist prays that God would remove the wicked far off, and then there would be peace in Israel; and to the same purpose Arama and Kimchi interpret it.

Salmos 125:5 In-Context

1 Los que confían en el SEÑOR son como el monte de Sion que no deslizará; estará para siempre

2 Como Jerusalén tiene montes alrededor de ella, así el SEÑOR alrededor de su pueblo desde ahora y para siempre

3 Porque no reposará la vara de la impiedad sobre la suerte de los justos; para que no extiendan los justos sus manos a la iniquidad

4 Haz bien, oh SEÑOR, a los buenos, y a los que son rectos en sus corazones

5 Mas a los que se apartan tras sus perversidades, el SEÑOR los llevará con los que obran iniquidad; y paz sea sobre Israel
