Psalms 125

1 A Song of the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

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 are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

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

3 For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to 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, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.

Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let 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!
