Psalm 125

Psalm 125

Israel’s Stability

A song of ascents.

¹Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.^(A)
²The mountains surround Jerusalem
and the Lord surrounds his people,
both now and forever.^(B)

³The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice.^(C)
⁴Do what is good, Lord, to the good,
to those whose hearts are upright.^(D)
⁵But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,
the Lord will banish them with the evildoers.^(E)
Peace be with Israel.^(F)
