Psalm 125

All those who trust the LORD

Like Zion are secure,

Which never can be moved

But always will endure.

Just as the mountains stand

Around Jerusalem,

The LORD surrounds his own,

For ever guarding them.

The wicked’s evil rule

Will not oppress for long

The righteous and their land,

Lest righteous folk do wrong.

On all those who are good

Bestow your goodness, LORD—

To those of upright heart

Who reverence your word.

But God will banish those

Who choose a crooked way;

They’ll share the sinner’s fate.

Let peace on Israel stay!
