< 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 THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.
2 Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.
Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.
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 does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.
4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the 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!
As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
