125:0 Against wicked rulers

125 A song for walking uphill to Yerushalem.

125 Those who trust in Yahweh

are like Mt Tsiyyon (Zion) which can’t be shaken—enduring forever.

2 Just like the mountains surround Yerushalem,

so too Yahweh surrounds his people, both now and forever.

3 Wicked rulers must not settle on the land alloted to the righteous,

otherwise those righteous people might end up doing something that they shouldn’t do.

4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good

and to those who strive to do what is right.

5 But as for those who choose to turn to crooked paths,

Yahweh will banish them along with those who do evil.

May peace be on Yisra’el.

125 The _song _of the_ascents[fn] the_trust in/on/at/with_LORD like_mount _of Tsiyyōn/(Zion) which_not it _will _be _shaken to_forever it _will _remain.
2 Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) mountains are_around to/for_her/it and_LORD is_around about_people _of_his from_now and_unto perpetuity.
3 If/because not it _will _rest the _scepter _of the_wickedness over the _allotted _portion _of the_righteous so _that not they _may _stretch _out the_righteous in/on/at/with_wrong hands _of_their.
4 Do _good Oh_YHWH to _the_good and_to_upright in/on/at/with_hearts _of_their.
5 And_the_turn _aside crooked _ways _of_their banish_them YHWH with those _who_do _of the_iniquity peace be_on Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel).
