Psalm 125:2-4

International Standard Version

²Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem,
so the Lord encircles his people,
from now to eternity.

³For evil’s scepter will not rest
on the land that has been allotted to the righteous,
and so the righteous will not direct themselves^[a] to do wrong.

⁴Lord, do good to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in heart.^[b]
