- Chapter 125 -

The Lord surrounds his people

1
A song of degrees. They that trust in the Lord, shalbe as mount Zion, which can not be remooued, but remaineth for euer.
2
As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.
3
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, least the righteous put forth their hand vnto wickednes.
4
Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.
5
But these that turne aside by their crooked wayes, them shall the Lord leade with the workers of iniquitie: but peace shalbe vpon Israel.

The Lord surrounds his people

1
Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3
For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4
Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5
But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
