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. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, that cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 [As] the mountains [are] round Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] around his people from henceforth even for ever.

Round Jerusalem are the mountains, and the Lord is round his people from now 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 he will not suffer the sceptre of wrong to rest on the land allotted to the righteous; else the righteous might put forth their own hand to evil.

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, and to the true-hearted.

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 those who swerve into crooked ways will the Lord lead away with the workers of evil. Peace be upon Israel.
