Psalm 125

¹Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, *which cannot be moved, but stands fast for ever.

²The hills stand about Jerusalem; *so does the Lord stand round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.

³The scepter of the wicked shall not hold sway over the land allotted to the just, *so that the just shall not put their hands to evil.

⁴Show your goodness, O Lord, to those who are good *and to those who are true of heart.

⁵As for those who turn aside to crooked ways, the Lord will lead them away with the evildoers; *but peace be upon Israel.
