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!

Psalms 125
125
The Security of God's People
1Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which can never be shaken, never be moved.
2As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people
now and for ever.
3The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous;
if they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.
4 LORD, do good to those who are good,
to those who obey your commands.
5But when you punish the wicked,
punish also those who abandon your ways.
Peace be with Israel!
