Psalm 125

The Lord Surrounds His People.

A Song of Ascents.

¹Those who trust in the Lord
Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.
²As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.
³For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the ^[a]land of the righteous,
So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

⁴Do good, O Lord, to those who are good
And to those who are upright in their hearts.
⁵But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
The Lord will lead them away with the doers of iniquity.
Peace be upon Israel.
