Psalm 125

The Voice

¹ All who have faith in the Eternal stand as Mount Zion:
    unmoved, enduring, eternal.
² Just as the mountains around Jerusalem embrace her,
    the Eternal, too, wraps around those who belong to Him—
    for this moment and for every moment to come.
³ For wickedness will not get the upper hand;
    it shall not rule the land where righteous people live
Lest good people go bad
    and do what is wrong.
⁴ Be good, Eternal One, to those who are good,
    to those who are filled with integrity.
⁵ The Eternal will send all the wicked away
    along with those who pervert what’s good and twist it in their own crooked way.
    May peace be with Israel.
