Psalms 125

1 A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but stays for ever.

2 The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from now on even for ever.

3 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.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.

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

5 But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

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.
