Psalms 125

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from now on and forever. The rod of the wicked won't rest on the lot of the righteous, or the righteous might put their hands to wrongdoing. Do good, LORD, to those who are good

Like Mount Zion

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from now on and forever. The rod of the wicked won't rest on the lot of the righteous, or the righteous might put their hands to wrongdoing. Do good, LORD, to those who are good and to those who are upright in heart. But those who turn aside to crooked ways, the LORD will lead away with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel.

The ones who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which can't be shifted but stays forever. The way the hills are round Jerusalem, that's how the Lord is round his people from now on and forever. Because the rod of the wicked won't rest on the lot of the righteous, or the righteous might put their hands to wrongdoing. Do good, Lord, to the ones who are good and upright in their hearts. But the ones who turn aside to their crooked ways, the Lord will lead them off with the workers of wrong. Peace be on Israel.

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. As 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.
