Psalms 125

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

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

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

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.

3 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.

For the sceptre 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 Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

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

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

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