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 the Lord are like Mount Zion, that cannot be moved, but abides forever.

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

Round Jerusalem are the mountains, and the Lord is round his people from now 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 he will not suffer the sceptre of wrong to rest on the land allotted to the righteous; else the righteous might put forth their own hand to evil.

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 true-hearted.

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 swerve into crooked ways will the Lord lead away with the workers of evil. Peace be upon Israel.
