Psalm 125
Expanded Bible
God Protects Those Who Trust Him
A song ·for going up to worship [of ascents; C perhaps sung while traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual religious festival like Passover].
125 Those who ·trust [have confidence in] the Lord are like Mount Zion [C the location of the Temple],
which sits unmoved forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
the Lord surrounds his people
now and forever.
3 The ·wicked will not rule
over [L scepter of the wicked will not rest on; C the scepter is a symbol of rule] ·those who do right [L the allotment of the righteous].
·If they did, the people who do right
might use their power to do evil [L …so the righteous do not send forth their hands in evil].
4 Lord, ·be [or do] good to those who are good,
whose hearts are ·honest [virtuous; filled with integrity].
5 But, Lord, when you ·remove [turn aside] those who ·do evil [are twisted/perverted],
also ·remove [L make go away] those who ·stop following you [L do evil].
Let there be peace in Israel.

King James Version
Psalm 125
King James Version
125 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

Dios protege a su pueblo
Cántico gradual
125 Los que confían en Jehová son como el monte Sión,
que no se mueve, sino que permanece para siempre.
2 Como Jerusalén tiene montes alrededor de ella,
así Jehová está alrededor de su pueblo
desde ahora y para siempre.
3 No reposará la vara de la impiedad
sobre la heredad de los justos;
no sea que extiendan los justos
sus manos a la maldad.
4 Haz bien, Jehová, a los buenos
y a los que son rectos en su corazón.
5 Mas a los que se apartan tras sus perversidades,
Jehová los llevará con los que hacen maldad.
¡La paz sea sobre Israel!

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

3 The scepter(E) of the wicked will not remain(F)

for then the righteous might use
their hands to do evil.(G)
4 Lord, do good(H) to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.(I)

the Lord will banish(L) with the evildoers.
Peace be on Israel.(M)
