< 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.
A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
2 Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth 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 rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
Do good, O LORD, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
