Psalms 125

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

A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

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

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.

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 sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

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

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

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

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
