Psalms 125

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

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

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

In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

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.

For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

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

Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

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.

But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
