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 Ascents.] Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

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

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

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 scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

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

Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who 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 to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
