Psalm 125 - English Standard Version 2016

The Lord Surrounds His People

A 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 forth and forevermore.

³ For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous 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 crooked ways the Lord will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!
