A song for going up to worship.

125 Those who trust the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which can never be shaken.
It remains firm forever.
⌞As⌟ the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people now and forever.

A wicked ruler will not be allowed to govern
the land set aside for righteous people.
That is why righteous people do not use their power to do wrong.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
to those whose motives are decent.
But when people become crooked,
the Lord will lead them away with troublemakers.

Let there be peace in Israel!

Psalm 125

A song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,(A)
    which cannot be shaken(B) but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,(C)
    so the Lord surrounds(D) his people
    both now and forevermore.

The scepter(E) of the wicked will not remain(F)
    over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.(G)

Lord, do good(H) to those who are good,
    to those who are upright in heart.(I)
But those who turn(J) to crooked ways(K)
    the Lord will banish(L) with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.(M)
