Psalms 125
Reading Psalms chapter 125 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–5
1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3 For the sceptre of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
