Psalms 125 (WMBBE)

A Song of Ascents.

1 Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion,

which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous,

so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good,

to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways,

the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be on Israel.
