King James Version 1769 including Apocrypha

- Chapter 125 -

The Lord surrounds his people

1
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.(a)
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.
