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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth 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, Henceforth even 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 sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put 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 the good, To them that 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 such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
