Psalms 125:5

5 As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, ^{▼▼tn Heb “and the ones making their paths twisted.” A sinful lifestyle is compared to a twisting, winding road.}
may the Lord remove them, ^{▼▼tn Heb “lead them away.” The prefixed verbal form is understood as a jussive of prayer here (note the prayers directly before and after this). Another option is to translate, “the Lord will remove them” (cf. NIV, NRSV).} along with those who behave wickedly. ^{▼▼tn Heb “the workers of wickedness.”}
May Israel experience peace. ^{▼▼tn Heb “peace [be] upon Israel.” The statement is understood as a prayer (see Ps 122:8 for a similar prayer for peace).}
