< 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 degrees. They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.
2 As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.
Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.
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 sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.
Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
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 turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
