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)

Dios protege a su pueblo

Cántico gradual.

125 Los que confían en Jehová son como el monte de Sion,

Que no se mueve, sino que permanece para siempre.

Como Jerusalén tiene montes alrededor de ella,

Así Jehová está alrededor de su pueblo

Desde ahora y para siempre.

Porque no reposará la vara de la impiedad sobre la heredad de los justos;

No sea que extiendan los justos sus manos a la iniquidad.

Haz bien, oh Jehová, a los buenos,

Y a los que son rectos en su corazón.

Mas a los que se apartan tras sus perversidades,

Jehová los llevará con los que hacen iniquidad;

Paz sea sobre Israel.

The Lord Surrounds His People

A Song of (A)Ascents.

125 Those who (B)trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    which (C)cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so (D)the Lord surrounds his people,
    from this time forth and forevermore.
For (E)the scepter of wickedness shall not (F)rest
    on (G)the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous (H)stretch out
    their hands to do wrong.
(I)Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
    and to those who are (J)upright in their hearts!
But those who (K)turn aside to their (L)crooked ways
    the Lord will lead away with (M)evildoers!
    (N)Peace be upon Israel!
