Psalm 125

A Song of Ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion,
    which cannot be removed, but abides forever.
As the mountains are around Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds His people,
    from now and forever.

For the scepter of the wicked shall not rest
    upon the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous put forth
    their hands to do iniquity.

Do good, O Lord, for those who are good,
    and to those who are upright in their hearts.
As for those who turn aside to their twisted ways,
    the Lord shall lead them away with the other workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel!

Psalm 125

A song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,(A)
    which cannot be shaken(B) but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,(C)
    so the Lord surrounds(D) his people
    both now and forevermore.

The scepter(E) of the wicked will not remain(F)
    over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.(G)

Lord, do good(H) to those who are good,
    to those who are upright in heart.(I)
But those who turn(J) to crooked ways(K)
    the Lord will banish(L) with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.(M)
