Psalms 125

1 A Song of degrees. They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

2 Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

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

For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

5 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!

But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
