Psalm 125

¹ A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

² As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.

³ For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

⁴ Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

⁵ But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
