PSALM 125
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1They in the Lord that firmly trust
shall be like Sion hill,
Which at no time can be remov'd,
but standeth ever still.
2As round about Jerusalem
the mountains stand alway,
The Lord his folk doth compass so,
from henceforth and for aye.
3For ill men's rod upon the lot
of just men shall not lie;
Lest righteous men stretch
forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do thou to all those that be good
thy goodness, Lord, impart;
And do thou good to those that are
upright within their heart.
5But as for such as turn aside
after their crooked way,
God shall lead forth with wicked men:
on Isr'el peace shall stay.

Psalm 125
A pilgrimage song.
1The people who trust in the LORD
are like Mount Zion:
never shaken, lasting forever.
2Mountains surround Jerusalem.
That’s how the LORD surrounds his people
from now until forever from now!
3The wicked rod won’t remain
in the land given to the righteous
so that they don’t use their hands to do anything wrong.#125.3 Heb uncertain
4 LORD, do good to people who are good,
to people whose hearts are right.
5But as for those people who turn to their own twisted ways—
may the LORD march them off with other evildoers!
Peace be on Israel!
