Psalm 125

Psalm 125

A song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,^a

which cannot be shaken^b but endures forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,^c

so the Lord surrounds^d his people

both now and forevermore.

The scepter^e of the wicked will not remain^f

over the land allotted to the righteous,

for then the righteous might use

their hands to do evil.^g

Lord, do good^h to those who are good,

to those who are upright in heart.ⁱ

But those who turn^j to crooked ways^k

the Lord will banish^l with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.^m
