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 Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells

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

in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.

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 Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.

4 Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.

Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of 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 away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
