Psalm 125

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. ¹Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. ² Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. ³ The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. ⁴ O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. ⁵ But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil.May Israel have peace!
