Psalms 125

1 [A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Jehovah surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surroundeth his people from henceforth even for ever.

3 For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Do good, Jehovah, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O LORD, to those that are good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be 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 upon Israel.
