PSALM 125
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1They in the Lord that firmly trust
shall be like Sion hill,
Which at no time can be remov'd,
but standeth ever still.
2As round about Jerusalem
the mountains stand alway,
The Lord his folk doth compass so,
from henceforth and for aye.
3For ill men's rod upon the lot
of just men shall not lie;
Lest righteous men stretch
forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do thou to all those that be good
thy goodness, Lord, impart;
And do thou good to those that are
upright within their heart.
5But as for such as turn aside
after their crooked way,
God shall lead forth with wicked men:
on Isr'el peace shall stay.

Psalms 125
125
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
1Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.
3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly,
for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4O Lord, do good to those who are good,
whose hearts are in tune with you.
5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord.
Take them away with those who do evil.
May Israel have peace!
