Psalm 125
International Standard Version

A Song of Ascents

God is Secure

125 Those who are trusting in the Lord
    are like Mount Zion, which cannot be overthrown.
        They remain forever.
2 Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem,
    so the Lord encircles his people,
        from now to eternity.

3 For evil’s scepter will not rest
    on the land that has been allotted to the righteous,
and so the righteous will not direct themselves[a] to do wrong.

4 Lord, do good to those who are good,
    and to those who are upright in heart.[b]
5 But for those who choose their own devious paths,
    the Lord will lead them away,
        along with those who practice evil.

Peace be upon Israel.
