Psalm 125

Israel’s Stability

A song of ascents.

1   Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion.

It cannot be shaken; it remains forever. y

2   The mountains surround Jerusalem

and the LORD surrounds his people,

both now and forever. z

3   The scepter of the wicked will not remain

over the land allotted to the righteous,

so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice. a

4   Do what is good, LORD, to the good,

to those whose hearts are upright. b

5   But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,

the LORD will banish them with the evildoers. c

Peace be with Israel. d
