PSALMS 125

1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.
2 In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.
3 The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong. 1
Notes
+ Literally, “the scepter of wickedness.”
4 Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.
5 But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace! 1
Notes
+ It seems that two groups are in view here: unfaithful Israelites, and heathen people who do wrong.
