Psalms 125
The Security of God’s People
A Song of Ascents.
1
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people,
from this time on and forevermore.
3
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous might not stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
4
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts.
5
But those who turn aside to their own crooked ways
the LORD will lead away with evildoers.
Peace be upon Israel!
