Psalms 125

1Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

3For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.

4Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.

5But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.

Psalms 125

1Those who trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion, which can't be moved, but remains forever.

2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

3For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

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

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