Psalm 125 The Security of God’s PeopleA Song of Ascents. 1 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 on and forevermore. 3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous might not stretch out their hands to do wrong. 4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts. 5 But those who turn aside to their own crooked ways, the Lord will lead away with evildoers. Peace be upon Israel! |
