< 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 THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.
2 [As] the mountains [are] round Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] around his people from henceforth even for ever.
Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.
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 does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.
4 Do good, O LORD, to [those that] are good, and to [them that are] upright in their hearts.
Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the 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.
As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
