Psalm 125:1-5
A Song of the Ascents.*
125 Those trusting in Jehovah+Are like Mount Zion,+ which cannot be made to totter, but dwells even to time indefinite.+
2 Jerusalem—as mountains are all around it,+So Jehovah is all around his people+From now on and to time indefinite.+
3 For the scepter of wickedness will not keep resting+ upon the lot of the righteous ones,In order that the righteous ones may not thrust out their hand upon any wrongdoing.+
4 O do good, O Jehovah, to the good ones,+Even to the ones upright in their hearts.+
5 As for those turning aside to their crooked ways,+Jehovah will make them go away with the practicers of what is hurtful.+There will be peace upon Israel.+
