125 (0) A song of ascents:

(1) Those who trust in Adonai
are like Mount Tziyon,
which cannot be moved
but remains forever.

Yerushalayim!
Mountains all around it!
Thus Adonai is around his people
henceforth and forever.

For the scepter of wickedness
will not rule the inheritance of the righteous,
so that the righteous will not themselves
turn their hands to evil.
Do good, Adonai, to the good,
to those upright in their hearts.
But as for those who turn aside
to their own crooked ways,
may Adonai turn them away,
along with those who do evil.

Shalom on Isra’el!

Psalm 125

A song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,(A)
    which cannot be shaken(B) but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,(C)
    so the Lord surrounds(D) his people
    both now and forevermore.

The scepter(E) of the wicked will not remain(F)
    over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.(G)

Lord, do good(H) to those who are good,
    to those who are upright in heart.(I)
But those who turn(J) to crooked ways(K)
    the Lord will banish(L) with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.(M)
