International Standard Version

Psalm 125

1 Those who are trusting in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be overthrown. They remain forever.

2 Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem, so the LORD encircles his people, from now to eternity.

3 For evil’s scepter will not rest on the land that has been allotted to the righteous, and so the righteous will not direct themselves ^a to do wrong.

4 LORD, do good to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart. ^b

5 But for those who choose their own devious paths, the LORD will lead them away, along with those who practice evil. Peace be upon Israel.
