Psalm 125

A song for going up to worship.

Those who trust Yahweh are like Mount Zion,
    which can never be shaken.
        It remains firm forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

A wicked ruler will not be allowed to govern
    the land set aside for righteous people.
        That is why righteous people do not use their power to do wrong.

for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.(G)
