Psalm 125

New International Version

from Biblica

A song of ascents.

1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures for ever. 

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and for evermore. 

3 The sceptre of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil. 

4 Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. 

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