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 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 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, Henceforth even 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 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 Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

Do good, O LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in 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 to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
