< Psalms 125 >
1 A song of degrees. They that trust in the Lord, shalbe as mount Zion, which can not be remooued, but remaineth for euer.
A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.
2 As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, least the righteous put forth their hand vnto wickednes.
For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.
4 Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.
5 But these that turne aside by their crooked wayes, them shall the Lord leade with the workers of iniquitie: but peace shalbe vpon Israel.
But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
