Psalm 125 (WEBP)
[1] Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
[2] As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
[3] For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
[4] Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
[5] But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

Psalm 125 (KJVS)
[1] They that trust H982 (QalActPtc) in the Lord H3068 [shall be] as mount H2022 Zion, H6726 [which] cannot be removed, H4131 (NiphImpf) [but] abideth H3427 (QalImpf) for ever. H5769
[2] As the mountains H2022 [are] round about H5439 Jerusalem, H3389 so the Lord H3068 [is] round about H5439 his people H5971 from henceforth even for H5704 ever. H5769
[3] For the rod H7626 of the wicked H7562 shall not rest H5117 (QalImpf) upon the lot H1486 of the righteous; H6662 lest H4616 the righteous H6662 put forth H7971 (QalImpf) their hands H3027 unto iniquity. H5766
[4] Do good, H2895 (HiphImpv) O Lord, H3068 unto [those that be] good, H2896 and [to them that are] upright H3477 in their hearts. H3826
[5] As for such as turn aside H5186 (HiphPtc) unto their crooked ways, H6128 the Lord H3068 shall lead them forth H3212 (HiphImpf) with the workers H6466 (QalActPtc) of iniquity: H205 [but] peace H7965 [shall be] upon Israel. H3478
