Psalms 125

1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.

A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2 As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh 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 scepter 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 LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that are] upright in their hearts.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD 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, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
