OEB PSA Chapter 125

Psalm 125 – A Sure Defence

A song of ascents.

125 Those who trust in the Lord

are like Mount Zion,

that cannot be moved,

but abides forever.

2 Round Jerusalem are the mountains,

and the Lord is round his people

from now and for evermore.

3 For he will not suffer

the sceptre of wrong

to rest on the land

allotted to the righteous;

else the righteous might put forth

their own hand to evil.

4 Do good, O Lord,

to the good,

and to the true-hearted.

5 But those who swerve

into crooked ways

will the Lord lead away

with the workers of evil.

Peace be upon Israel.
