Psalms 125

1 A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.

2 in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.

Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.

3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.

For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.

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

5 But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

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