< Psalms 125 >
1 A Song of Ascents. They who trust in Yahweh, [are] like Mount Zion, which shall not be shaken, Age-abidingly, shall it remain.
A Song of degrees. They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.
2 Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.
3 For the sceptre of lawlessness shall not remain over the allotment of the righteous, —lest the righteous put forth—unto perversity—their hands.
For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.
Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!
But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
