Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American Standard Version
Psalms 125
1A Song of Ascents. They 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.
