Chapter 125

A Song of Ascents.

¹Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion,

Which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

²As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

So Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

³For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous;

So that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

⁴Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good,

To those who are upright in their hearts.

⁵But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,

Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be on Israel.
