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.
