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. Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Yhwh is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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 wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

4 Do good, O Yhwh, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who 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.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
