Psalm 125

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. 1Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion;they will not be defeated but will endure forever. 2 Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. 3 The wicked will not rule the land of the godly,for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. 4 O LORD, do good to those who are good,whose hearts are in tune with you. 5 But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD.Take them away with those who do evil.May Israel have peace!
