Psalms 125

1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.

[A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

2 As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

4 Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that are] upright in their hearts.

Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
