1 Psalm 125 Israel’s Stability A song of ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.2 The mountains surround Jerusalem and the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.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.4 Do what is good, Lord , to the good, to those whose hearts are upright.5 But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways, the Lord will banish them with the evildoers. Peace be with Israel.
