Psalms 125

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

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

3 For the scepter of wickedness will not remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous will not use their hands to do evil.

4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 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.
