125:2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, 1
so the Lord surrounds his people,
now and forevermore.
125:3 Indeed, 2 the scepter of a wicked king 3 will not settle 4
upon the allotted land of the godly.
Otherwise the godly might
do what is wrong. 5
125:4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
to the morally upright! 6
125:5 As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, 7
may the Lord remove them, 8 along with those who behave wickedly! 9
May Israel experience peace! 10
