Confidence in Yahweh’s Protection

125 A song of ascents.a

1 Those who trust in Yahweh

are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved,

but abides forever.

2 As mountains are round about Jerusalem,

so Yahweh is round about his people,

from now until forever.

3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest

on the ⌊land⌋b of the righteous,

lest the righteous stretch out

their hands to do wickedness.c

4 Do good, O Yahweh, to the good,

and to those upright in their hearts.

5 But regarding those who turn aside to their crooked ways,

Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers.

Peace be upon Israel.
