Psalms 125

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

A Song of Ascents. They who trust in Yahweh, [are] like Mount Zion, which shall not be shaken, Age-abidingly, shall it remain.

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

Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.

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 sceptre of lawlessness shall not remain over the allotment of the righteous, —lest the righteous put forth—unto perversity—their hands.

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

Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as 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.

As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!
