Psalm 125 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

The Lord Surrounds His People

Psa 125:1A Song of Ascents.
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

Psa 125:2As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people,
from this time forth and forevermore.

Psa 125:3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wrong.

Psa 125:4

Psa 125:4Do good, O LORD, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts!

Psa 125:5

Psa 125:5But those who turn aside to their crooked ways
the LORD will lead away with evildoers!
Peace be upon Israel!
