Psalms 125

1 A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved — to the age it abideth.

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

2 Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.

In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

3 For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.

For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

5 As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
