Psalms 125

A Song of degrees

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת
*
A Song of degrees.

The LORD surrounds his people like the mountains around Jerusalem

הַבֹּטְחִים בַּיהוָה כְּֽהַר-צִיּוֹן לֹא-יִמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵֽׁב׃
1
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
יְֽרוּשָׁלִַם הָרִים סָבִיב לָהּ וַיהוָה סָבִיב לְעַמּוֹ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
2
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
כִּי לֹא יָנוּחַ שֵׁבֶט הָרֶשַׁע עַל גּוֹרַל הַֽצַּדִּיקִים לְמַעַן לֹא-יִשְׁלְחוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּעַוְלָתָה יְדֵיהֶֽם׃
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.
הֵיטִיבָה יְהוָה לַטּוֹבִים וְלִֽישָׁרִים בְּלִבּוֹתָֽם׃
4
Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
וְהַמַּטִּים עַֽקַלְקַלּוֹתָם יוֹלִיכֵם יְהוָה אֶת-פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן שָׁלוֹם עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
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.
