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 the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved — to the age it abideth.

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

Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.

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 rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.

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

Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

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

As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
