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.

Psalms 125
125
Confidence in Yahweh’s Protection
A song of ascents.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
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#Literally “lot,” that is, land allotted of the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wickedness.#Hebrew “in wickedness”
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.
