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 degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, 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 surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surroundeth his people from henceforth even for ever.

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 rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

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

Do good, O LORD, to those that are 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.

As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
