PSALM 125

¹A song of ascents.

          Those who trust in the LORD

          are like Mount Zion never shaken,

          settled forever.

    ²Jerusalem, mountains around it,

          and the LORD is around His people

          now and forevermore.

    ³For the rod of wickedness will not rest

          on the portion of the righteous,

          so that the righteous not set their hands

          to wrongdoing.

    ⁴Do good, O LORD, to the good

          and to the upright in their hearts.

    ⁵And those who bend to crookedness,

          may the LORD take them off with the wrongdoers.

              Peace upon Israel!
