God Protects Those Who Trust Him

A song for going up to worship.

125 Those who trust the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    which sits unmoved forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    the Lord surrounds his people
    now and forever.

The wicked will not rule
    over those who do right.
If they did, the people who do right
    might use their power to do evil.

Lord, be good to those who are good,
    whose hearts are honest.
But, Lord, when you remove those who do evil,
    also remove those who stop following you.

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)

Salmo 125

El Señor protege a Su pueblo

Cántico de ascenso gradual.

125 Los que confían en el Señor
Son como el monte Sión, que es inconmovible(A), que permanece para siempre(B).
Como los montes rodean a Jerusalén,
Así el Señor rodea a Su pueblo(C)
Desde ahora y para siempre(D).
Pues el cetro de la impiedad(E) no descansará sobre la tierra de los justos,
Para que los justos no extiendan sus manos para hacer el mal(F).
¶Haz bien, Señor, a los buenos(G)
Y a los rectos de corazón(H).
Pero a los que se desvían(I) por sus caminos torcidos(J),
El Señor los llevará con los que hacen iniquidad(K).
¡Paz sea sobre Israel(L)!

The Lord the Strength of His People

A Song of Ascents.

125 Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

For (A)the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
And to those who are upright in their hearts.

As for such as turn aside to their (B)crooked ways,
The Lord shall lead them away
With the workers of iniquity.

(C)Peace be upon Israel!
