- Chapter 125 -

The Lord surrounds his people

1
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
3
For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.
4
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.
5
But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.

The Lord surrounds his people

1
Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3
For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4
Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5
But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
