Psalms 125 WEB
Summary: A Song of Ascents built on the geography of Jerusalem itself as an image of security: "They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever" (v. 1), and "as the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people" (v. 2). It prays that God will not let the "rod of the wicked" rest permanently over the land of the righteous, lest they be tempted toward iniquity, and closes with a benediction on "them that are upright in their hearts" (v. 4), while workers of iniquity are led away with evildoers.
1Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
