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

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

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

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

Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who 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 those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
