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 Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

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 Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

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.

The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

4 Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and 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, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
