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 the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

2 As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

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 rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.

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 those who are 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 as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.
