Psalms 125

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.	1 A song of ascents. Like Mount Zion are they who trust in the LORD, unshakable, forever enduring.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.	2 As mountains surround Jerusalem, the LORD surrounds his people both now and forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.	3 The scepter of the wicked will not prevail in the land given to the just, Lest the just themselves turn their hands to evil.
4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.	4 Do good, LORD, to the good, to those who are upright of heart.
5 As 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 those who turn aside to crooked ways may the LORD send down with the wicked. Peace upon Israel!
