Psalm 125:3-5

International Standard Version

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]
⁵But for those who choose their own devious paths,
    the Lord will lead them away,
        along with those who practice evil.

Peace be upon Israel.
