Psalm 125

¹They in the Lord that firmly trust

shall be like Sion hill,

Which at no time can be remov'd,

but standeth ever still.

²As round about Jerusalem

the mountains stand alway,

The Lord his folk doth compass so,

from henceforth and for aye.

³For ill men's rod upon the lot

of just men shall not lie;

Lest righteous men stretch forth their hands

unto iniquity.

⁴Do thou to all those that be good

thy goodness, Lord, impart;

And do thou good to those that are

upright within their heart.

⁵But as for such as turn aside

after their crooked way,

God shall lead forth with wicked men:

on Isr'el peace shall stay.
