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!

Psalm 125
A song for going up to worship.
1Those who trust the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which can never be shaken.
It remains firm forever.
2 ⌞As⌟ the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people now and forever.
3A wicked ruler will not be allowed to govern
the land set aside for righteous people.
That is why righteous people do not use their power to do wrong.
4Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
to those whose motives are decent.
5But when people become crooked,
the Lord will lead them away with troublemakers.
Let there be peace in Israel!
