Psalm 125

Psalm 125

1. A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. 1 1 Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; 1 they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

2. Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, 2 so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.

3. The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, 3 for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.

4. O Lord, do good to those who are good, 4 whose hearts are in tune with you.

5. But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord. 5 Take them away with those who do evil. 5 May Israel have peace!
