< Psalms 125 >

1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.
2 In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.
3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.
5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
