< 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.
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2 As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.
In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now 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 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.
4 Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.
Do good, O Lord, to those that are 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 such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
