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 Zion, which cannot be removed, but stays for ever.

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

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from now on even 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 rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put 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 be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

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

As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be on Israel.
