1 PSALM 125 The L Surrounds His People. A Song of Ascents. Those who trust inandrely on the L[with confident expectation]Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,So the Lsurrounds His peopleFrom this time forth and forever.
3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land of the righteous,So that the righteous will not reach out their hands to do wrong.
4 Do good, O L, to those who are goodAnd to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways [in unresponsiveness to God],The Lwill lead them away with those who do evil.Peace be upon Israel.
