Psalms 125

Israel’s Stability

1 A ^{▼▼song of ascents: Probably the songs pilgrims sang as they traveled the roads going up to worship in Jerusalem; Pss 120-134}song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount ^{▼▼Zion: Originally a term for the fortified section of Jerusalem and then, by extension, used for the temple and the city of Jerusalem both in the present time and in the future}Zion.
It cannot be shaken; it remains forever. ^c
2 Jerusalem – the mountains surround her.
And the Lord surrounds His people,
both now and forever. ^d

3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice. ^e
4 Do what is good, Lord, to the good,
to those whose hearts are upright. ^f
5 But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,
the Lord will banish them with the evildoers. ^g

Peace be with Israel. ^h
