Psalm 125 Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Israel’s Stability

A song of ascents.

125 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
It cannot be shaken; it remains for ever.^(A)
²The mountains surround Jerusalem
and the Lord surrounds his people,
both now and for ever.^(B)

³The sceptre of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice.^(C)
⁴Do what is good, Lord, to the good,
to those whose hearts are upright.^(D)
⁵But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,
the Lord will banish them with the evildoers.^(E)

Peace be with Israel.^(F)
