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 the degrees.” Those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, which will not he moved, which endureth for ever.

2 Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.

Jerusalem hath mountains round about her: and [so] is the Lord round about his people, from this time forth 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: in order that the righteous may not stretch forth their hands unto wrong-doing.

4 Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and to those 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 those who turn aside unto their crooked ways, them will the Lord drive away with the workers of wickedness; but peace shall be upon Israel.
