< 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 YHWH are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains 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 YHWH surrounds his people from this time forth 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 wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.
4 Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.
Do good, YHWH, to those who are good, to those who 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 those who turn aside to their crooked ways, YHWH will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
