< 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.
A song of degrees. They that trust in the Lord, shalbe as mount Zion, which can not be remooued, but remaineth for euer.
2 Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.
As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.
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 rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, least the righteous put forth their hand vnto wickednes.
4 Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.
5 As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
But these that turne aside by their crooked wayes, them shall the Lord leade with the workers of iniquitie: but peace shalbe vpon Israel.
