Psalms 125
125
A Song of Ascents.
1They that trust in Jehovah
Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
So Jehovah is round about his people
From this time forth and for evermore.
3For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;
That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,
And to them that are upright in their hearts.
5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,
Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be upon Israel.

Psalms 125
125
Israel’s Protector
1A song of ascents.
Those trusting in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
unshakable, forever enduring.#Prv 10:25.
2As mountains surround Jerusalem,
the Lord surrounds his people
both now and forever.#Dt 32:11.
3The scepter of the wicked will not prevail
in the land allotted to the just,#The land allotted to the just: lit., “the lot of the righteous.” The promised land was divided among the tribes of Israel by lot (Nm 26:55; Jos 18). The righteous are the members of the people who are obedient to God. If the domination of the wicked were to continue in the land, even the just would be infected by their evil attitudes.
Lest the just themselves
turn their hands to evil.
4Do good, Lord, to the good,
to those who are upright of heart.#Ps 18:25ff.
5But those who turn aside to crooked ways
may the Lord send down with the evildoers.#Prv 3:32.
Peace upon Israel!#Ps 128:6.
