1 A song of the ascents. Those confiding in Jehovah [are] as Mount Zion; it cannot be moved, it abideth for ever.
2 Jerusalem! mountains round her, and Jehovah around his people henceforth and for ever.
3 For rod of wickedness shall not rest on a lot of the righteous, in order that the righteous may not put (send) their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, Jehovah, to the good and to those upright in their hearts.
5 But those that turn to crooked ways will Jehovah lead forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace [be] upon Israel.
Notes on Psalm 125
