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 going up to Jerusalem.
1Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.
2In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.
3The wicked will not always rule#125:3. Literally, “the scepter of wickedness.” over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.
4Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.
5But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil.#125:5. It seems that two groups are in view here: unfaithful Israelites, and heathen people who do wrong. May Israel be at peace!
