Psalm 125

A song of ascents.

1Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

2As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord surrounds his people

both now and forevermore.

3The scepter of the wicked will not remain

over the land allotted to the righteous,

for then the righteous might use

their hands to do evil.

4Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

to those who are upright in heart.

5But those who turn to crooked ways

the Lord will banish with the evildoers.

Peace be upon Israel.
