Psalms 125

1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD, [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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

3 For the sceptre of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O LORD, to [those that] are good, and to [them that are] upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

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.
