Psalms 125

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

A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

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

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth 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 rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

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

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

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 as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
