Psalm 125

Common English Bible

125 The people who trust in the Lord
    are like Mount Zion:
    never shaken, lasting forever.
² Mountains surround Jerusalem.
    That’s how the Lord surrounds his people
    from now until forever from now!
³ The wicked rod won’t remain
in the land given to the righteous
    so that they don’t use their hands to do anything wrong.^[a]
4 Lord, do good to people who are good,
    to people whose hearts are right.
⁵ But as for those people who turn to their own twisted ways—
    may the Lord march them off with other evildoers!
