Psalm 125

1

Psalm 125 A song of ascents.

1

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

2

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.

3

The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.

4

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.

5

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
