Psalm 125 ~ Psalm 125

picture

1 T hey that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Those who trust in, lean on, and confidently hope in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides and stands fast forever.

2 A s the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from this time forth and forever.

3 F or the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous, lest the righteous (God’s people) stretch forth their hands to iniquity and apostasy.

4 D o good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are right in their hearts.

5 A s for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the Lord will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
