Psalms 125

1 Those who trust in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

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 surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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 sceptre of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.

Do good, LORD, to those who are good, 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.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
