Psalms 125

1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.

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

2 As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

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

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

For 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.

4 Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that are] upright in their hearts.

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

5 As 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.

But 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.
