- Chapter 125 -

The Lord surrounds his people

1
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2
In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3
For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4
Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5
But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.

The Lord surrounds his people

1
Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3
For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4
Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5
But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
