Psalm 125

Berean Standard Bible

The LORD Surrounds His People

A song of ascents.

¹ Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion.

It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

² As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the LORD surrounds His people,

both now and forevermore.

³ For the scepter of the wicked will not rest

upon the land allotted to the righteous,

so that the righteous will not put forth

their hands to injustice.

⁴ Do good, O LORD, to those who are good,

and to the upright in heart.

⁵ But those who turn to crooked ways

the LORD will banish with the evildoers.

Peace be upon Israel.
