< 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.
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2 Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
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 Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.
Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
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 such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
