Psalms 125

Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion, undisturbed and secure, as the Lord surrounds and protects his people. The Lord will not allow the wicked to oppress the righteous, and will lead the wicked away with other evildoers. The Lord will do good to the good and upright of heart.

1A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwell2in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever3For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity4Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart5But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel
