< Psalms 125 >

1 Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.
A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth and for ever.
3 Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.
For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].
Do good, O LORD, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
