Psalms 125 Comparison: New Heart English Bible vs King James Version
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.
Psalms 125
1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
