Psalm 125

ESV

The Lord Surrounds His People

A Song of Ascents.

¹Those who trust in the Lord are like 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 forevermore.

³For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest

on the land allotted to the righteous,

lest the righteous stretch out

their hands to do wrong.

⁴Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

and to those who are upright in their hearts!

⁵But those who turn aside to their crooked ways

the Lord will lead away with evildoers!

Peace be upon Israel!
