< Psalms 125 >
1 [A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.
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.
4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who 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.
