Psalms 125

1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth for ever.

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

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about his people, Henceforth 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 sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put 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 the good, 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 such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
