Psalms 125

1 “A song of the degrees.” Those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, which will not he moved, which endureth for ever.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.

2 Jerusalem hath mountains round about her: and [so] is the Lord round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.

Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous: in order that the righteous may not stretch forth their hands unto wrong-doing.

For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and to those that are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn aside unto their crooked ways, them will the Lord drive away with the workers of wickedness; but peace shall be upon Israel.

As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
