< Psalms 125 >

1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but stays for ever.
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 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from now on even 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 rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put 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 be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.
5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be on 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.
