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 confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

2 In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

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 sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
