The Lord Surrounds His People.

A Song of Ascents.

125 Those who trust in the Lord
Are as Mount Zion, which (A)cannot be moved but (B)abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So (C)the Lord surrounds His people
(D)From this time forth and forever.
For the (E)scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the [a]land of the righteous,
So that the righteous (F)will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

A song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,(A)

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,(C)

    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)
