125
Psalm 125 – A Sure Defence
A song of ascents.
1 Those who trust in the Lord
are like Mount Zion,
that cannot be moved,
but abides forever.
2 Round Jerusalem are the mountains,
and the Lord is round his people
from now and for evermore.
3 For he will not suffer
the sceptre of wrong
to rest on the land
allotted to the righteous;
else the righteous might put forth
their own hand to evil.
4 Do good, O Lord,
to the good,
and to the true-hearted.
5 But those who swerve
into crooked ways
will the Lord lead away
with the workers of evil.
Peace be upon Israel.
