Psalms 125
125
Confidence in Yahweh’s Protection
A song of ascents.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1Those who trust in Yahweh
are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved,
but abides forever.
2As mountains are round about Jerusalem,
so Yahweh is round about his people,
from now until forever.
3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
on the land#Literally “lot,” that is, land allotted of the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wickedness.#Hebrew “in wickedness”
4Do good, O Yahweh, to the good,
and to those upright in their hearts.
5But regarding those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers.
Peace be upon Israel.

Psalms 125
125
A Song of Ascents.
1They that trust in Jehovah
Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
So Jehovah is round about his people
From this time forth and for evermore.
3For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;
That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,
And to them that are upright in their hearts.
5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,
Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be upon Israel.
