< 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.
A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
2 [As] the mountains [are] round Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] around his people from henceforth even for ever.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth and for ever.
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 rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O LORD, to [those that] are good, and to [them that are] upright in their hearts.
Do good, O LORD, unto the good, and to them that 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 unto their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
