Psalm 125
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Surrounds His People
A Song of Ascents.
125 Those who trust in Yahweh
Are as Mount Zion, which (A)will not be shaken but (B)will abide forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So (C)Yahweh surrounds His people
(D)From now until forever.
3 For the (E)scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the [a]land of the righteous,
So that the righteous (F)would not send forth their hands in unrighteousness.
4 (G)Do good, O Yahweh, to those who are good
And to those who are (H)upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who (I)turn aside to their (J)crooked ways,
Yahweh will lead them away with the (K)workers of iniquity.
(L)Peace be upon Israel.
