The Psalms

Psalm 125

A Song of Ascents.

 ^125:1They that trust in Jehovah

 Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

 ^125:2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,

 So Jehovah is round about his people

 From this time forth and for evermore.

 ^125:3For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;

 That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

 ^125:4Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,

 And to them that are upright in their hearts.

 ^125:5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,

 Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

 Peace be upon Israel.
