Psalm 125
New International Version

### Psalm 125

#### A song of ascents.

1 Those who trust in theLordare like Mount Zion,(A)
which cannot be shaken(B)but endures forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,(C)
so theLordsurrounds(D)his people
both now and forevermore.

3 The scepter(E)of the wicked will not remain(F)
over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
their hands to do evil.(G)

4 Lord, do good(H)to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.(I)
5 But those who turn(J)to crooked ways(K)
theLordwill banish(L)with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.(M)
