Psalms 125 YLT
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.
1A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved--to the age it abideth.
2Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.
3For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.
4Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
5As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
