Psalms 125

1 A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

A Song of Ascents. They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

3 For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
