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.

The Lord Surrounds His People
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents.
1Those who #Ps. 25:2, 3 trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which #Ps. 93:1; 104:5; [Prov. 10:30]cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so #[2 Kgs. 6:17; Zech. 2:5]the Lord surrounds his people,
from this time forth and forevermore.
3For #Isa. 14:5 the scepter of wickedness shall not #Isa. 30:30 rest
on #See Ps. 16:5 the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous #Gen. 3:22; Ex. 22:8stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
4 #
Ps. 119:68 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are #See Ps. 7:10upright in their hearts!
5But those who #See Ps. 40:4 turn aside to their #Prov. 2:15 crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with #Ps. 92:7, 9; 94:4 evildoers!
#
Ps. 128:6; Gal. 6:16 Peace be upon Israel!
