Psalms 125

1A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved--to the age it abideth. 2Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age. 3For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands. 4Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts. 5As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
