< Psalms 125 >
1 They that trust in Yhwh shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
A Song of Ascents. They who trust in Yahweh, [are] like Mount Zion, which shall not be shaken, Age-abidingly, shall it remain.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Yhwh is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
For the sceptre of lawlessness shall not remain over the allotment of the righteous, —lest the righteous put forth—unto perversity—their hands.
4 Do good, O Yhwh, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yhwh shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!
