Psalm 125 | New International Reader’s Version

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. They will always be secure. They will last for ever.

2 Like the mountains around Jerusalem, the LORD is all around his people both now and for ever.

3 Evil people will not always rule the land the LORD gave to those who do right. If they did, those who do right might do what is evil.

4 LORD, do good to those who are good. Do good to those whose hearts are honest.

5 But the LORD will drive out those who have taken crooked paths. He will drive them out with those who do evil things. May Israel enjoy peace.
