Psalm 125 - New Revised Standard Version

The Security of God's 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 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!
