PSALM 125

A Song of degrees.

  1. They who trust in jehovah are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abides for ever!
  2. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so is jehovah round about his people, from now on, even for ever.
  3. Truly, the sceptre of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the just; lest the just should put forth their hands to iniquity.
  4. Do good, O jehovah, to the good, to the upright in heart.
  5. But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, jehovah shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: peace shall be upon Israel!

The Internal Sense
