Shared Word Translation
Psalm 125
The LORD Surrounds the People
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken but remains forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds the people
from now and forever.
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
upon the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous do not stretch out their hands
toward injustice.
Peace Be upon Israel
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good
and to those who are upright in their hearts.
But those who turn aside to their crooked ways—
the LORD will lead them away with those who do evil.
Peace be upon Israel!
