125:1  THOSE WHO trust in, lean on, {and} confidently hope in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides {and} stands fast forever.

125:2  As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from this time forth and forever.

125:3  For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the [uncompromisingly] righteous, lest the righteous (God's people) stretch forth their hands to iniquity {and} apostasy.

125:4  Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are right [with You and all people] in their hearts.

125:5  As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways [of indifference to God], the Lord will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
