Psalm 125
Vers 1
Those who trust in the LORD resemble
Mount Zion, firm and sure,
which ever will endure;
it stands unmoved and will not tremble.
So Israel will not be shaken
or be forsaken.
Vers 2
Jerusalem! As all around her
the mountains stand on guard
to keep her peace unmarred,
so will the LORD himself surround her
to guard his own and be their Saviour
now and forever.
Vers 3
The wicked’s sceptre will not humble
the land he did entrust
to people right and just,
lest they, enticed by evil, stumble,
and they their hands to wrong be turning,
God’s counsel spurning.
Vers 4
Do good, O LORD, to those who fear you,
to those who in your sight
are godly and upright.
To all in Israel who revere you,
when sinners to their doom are driven,
your peace be given!
