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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth 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, Henceforth even 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 sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous 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 LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in heart!

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 such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
