< 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 YHWH shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so YHWH is round about his people from henceforth even 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 rod of the wicked 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 YHWH, unto those that be 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!
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, YHWH shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
