Psalms 125

1 A song of ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, that cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 Round Jerusalem are the mountains, and the Lord is round his people from now and for evermore.

3 For he will not suffer the sceptre of wrong to rest on the land allotted to the righteous; else the righteous might put forth their own hand to evil.

4 Do good, O Lord, to the good, and to the true-hearted.

5 But those who swerve into crooked ways will the Lord lead away with the workers of evil. Peace be upon Israel.
