¹(125) A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

¹A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

²The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

²As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

³For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

³For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

⁴Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.

⁴Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

⁵But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

⁵But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
