Psalms 125

1They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

1 They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

1A gradual canticle. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

2 Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

2Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

3For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

3The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

4Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts.

4Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!

5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
