Psalm 125 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

A Song of Ascents.

They that trust in Jehovah

Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,

So Jehovah is round about his people

From this time forth and for evermore.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;

That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,

And to them that are upright in their hearts.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,

Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel.
