Psalms 125

1 A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

3 The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
