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 Yhwh shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth 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 Yhwh is round about his people from henceforth 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 upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

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

Do good, O Yhwh, unto 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 unto their crooked ways, Yhwh shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
