< Psalms 125 >
1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
Those who trust in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surroundeth his people from henceforth even for ever.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so Jehovah is round about his people from this time forth and for evermore.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous, that the righteous not put forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Do good, O LORD, to those that are good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
Do good, O Jehovah, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
But as for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
