Psalm 125

The Lord Surrounds His People.

Those who trust in and rely on the Lord [with confident expectation]

Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever.
^{Tools

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

3}

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land of the righteous,
So that the righteous will not reach out their hands to do wrong.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good
And to those who are upright in their hearts.

^{Tools
5}

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways [in unresponsiveness to God],
The Lord will lead them away with those who do evil.
Peace be upon Israel.
