< Psalms 125 >
1 Those who trust in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so Jehovah is round about his people from this time forth and for evermore.
As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
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.
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O Jehovah, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.
Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that 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.
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
