Psalm 125

 

A song of ascents.

 

 

1                    Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

 

2                    As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people both now and forevermore.

 

3                    The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.

 

4                    Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.

 

5                    But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers.  Peace be upon Israel.
