[125:1] Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken, never be moved.
[125:2] As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.
[125:3] The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous; if they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.
[125:4] Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who obey your commands.
[125:5] But when you punish the wicked, punish also those who abandon your ways. Peace be with Israel!
