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.
