Psalms - Chapter 125

The Lord Protects the Righteous

¹ A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD [Are] like Mount Zion, [Which] cannot be moved, [but] abides forever.

² As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.

³ For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.

⁴ Do good, O LORD, to [those who are] good, And to [those who are] upright in their hearts.

⁵ As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace [be] upon Israel!
