Psalms 125 Common English Bible (CEB)

A pilgrimage song.

1. The people who trust in the Lordare like Mount Zion:never shaken, lasting forever.

2. Mountains surround Jerusalem.That’s how the Lord surrounds his peoplefrom now until forever from now!

3. The wicked rod won’t remainin the land given to the righteousso that they don’t use their hands to do anything wrong.

4. Lord, do good to people who are good,to people whose hearts are right.

5. But as for those people who turn to their own twisted ways—may the Lord march them off with other evildoers!Peace be on Israel!
