A song of ascents. 2
125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion;
it cannot be upended and will endure forever.
125:2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, 3
so the Lord surrounds his people,
now and forevermore.
125:3 Indeed, 4 the scepter of a wicked king 5 will not settle 6
upon the allotted land of the godly.
Otherwise the godly might
do what is wrong. 7
125:4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
to the morally upright! 8
