psalm

A song for going up to worship.

125 
Those who trust the Lord are like Mount Zion,

which can never be shaken.

It remains firm forever.

⌞As⌟ the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord 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.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

to those whose motives are decent.

But when people become crooked,

the Lord will lead them away with troublemakers.

Let there be peace in Israel!
