Psalms 125

1 A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

A Song of degrees. They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

2 The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.

Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
