CXXV JEHOVAH ROUND ABOUT HIS PEOPLE
A Song of Ascents.
[1] THEY that trust in Jehovah
Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
[2] As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
So Jehovah is round about his people
From this time forth and for evermore.
[3] For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;
That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
[4] Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,
And to them that are upright in their hearts.
[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.
