Psalms 125

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

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

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

In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

3 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.

For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

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

Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

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

But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
