Psalms Chapter 125

A Song of Ascents

1 Those who trust in Yahveh are like Mount Zion,

      that can’t be moved, that lasts forever.

2 Like mountains surround Jerusalem,

         Yahveh surrounds his people

      from now on forever.

3 Sinners won’t rule

         in the land allotted to good people

      because they’d tempt the good to do wrong.

4 Yahveh does good to those who do good,

      who are godly in heart.

5 But those who turn aside to their crooked ways,

         he’ll lead away with sinners.

                                                Peace to Israel!                      

Ps 125:1-5
