Psalm 125

Psalm 125 – A Sure Defence

A song of ascents.

1Those who trust in the Lord

are like Mount Zion,

that cannot be moved,

but abides forever.

2Round Jerusalem are the mountains,

and the Lord is round his people

from now and for evermore.

3For he will not suffer

the sceptre of wrong

to rest on the land

allotted to the righteous;

else the righteous might put forth

their own hand to evil.

4Do good, O Lord,

to the good,

and to the true-hearted.

5But those who swerve

into crooked ways

will the Lord lead away

with the workers of evil.

Peace be upon Israel.
