< Psalms 125 >
1 Those who trust in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so Jehovah is round about his people from this time forth and for evermore.
3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous, that the righteous not put forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Do good, O Jehovah, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 But as for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
