Psalm chapter 125
English Standard Version
1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore. 3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong. 4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts! 5But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the Lord will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!
New International Version
New American Standard Bible
1Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time and forever. 3For the scepter of wickedness will not rest upon the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not extend their hands to do wrong. 4Do good, Lord, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts. 5But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord will lead them away with those who practice injustice. Peace be upon Israel.
Christian Standard Bible
2The mountains surround Jerusalem and the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever. 3The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice. 4Do what is good, Lord, to the good, to those whose hearts are upright. 5But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways, the Lord will banish them with the evildoers. Peace be with Israel.
New Living Translation
1Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. 2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever. 3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. 4O Lord, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
King James Version
New King James Version
1{A Song of Ascents.} Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. 3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. 4Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts. 5As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
