Psalms 125

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

שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות הַבֹּטְחִ֥ים בַּיהוָ֑ה כְּֽהַר־צִיֹּ֥ון לֹא־יִ֝מֹּ֗וט לְעֹולָ֥ם יֵשֵֽׁב׃

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

יְֽרוּשָׁלַ֗͏ִם הָרִים֮ סָבִ֪יב לָ֥הּ וַ֭יהוָה סָבִ֣יב לְעַמֹּ֑ו מֵ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עֹולָֽם׃

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.

כִּ֤י לֹ֪א יָנ֡וּחַ שֵׁ֤בֶט הָרֶ֗שַׁע עַל֮ גֹּורַ֪ל הַֽצַּדִּ֫יקִ֥ים לְמַ֡עַן לֹא־יִשְׁלְח֖וּ הַצַּדִּיקִ֨ים בְּעַוְלָ֬תָה יְדֵיהֶֽם׃

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

הֵיטִ֣יבָה יְ֭הוָה לַטֹּובִ֑ים וְ֝לִֽישָׁרִ֗ים בְּלִבֹּותָֽם׃

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

וְהַמַּטִּ֤ים עַֽקַלְקַלֹּותָ֗ם יֹולִיכֵ֣ם יְ֭הוָה אֶת־פֹּעֲלֵ֣י הָאָ֑וֶן שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
