The Lord Surrounds His People.
A Song of Ascents.
125 Those who trust in the Lord
Are as Mount Zion, which (A)cannot be moved but (B)abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So (C)the Lord surrounds His people
(D)From this time forth and forever.
3 For the (E)scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the [a]land of the righteous,
So that the righteous (F)will not put forth their hands to do wrong.
4 (G)Do good, O Lord, to those who are good
And to those who are (H)upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who (I)turn aside to their (J)crooked ways,
The Lord will lead them away with the (K)doers of iniquity.
(L)Peace be upon Israel.
