Psalm

The LORD Surrounds His People
125 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 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. ₄Do 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!
