Psalm 125

Confidence in Yahweh’s Protection

125A song of ascents.^a

¹Those who trust in Yahweh

are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved,

but abides forever.

²As mountains are round about Jerusalem,

so Yahweh is round about his people,

from now until forever.

³For 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

⁴Do good, O Yahweh, to the good,

and to those upright in their hearts.

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

Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers.

Peace be upon Israel.
