Psalm 125

Easy-to-Read Version

A song for going up to the Temple.

125 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
    They will never be shaken.
    They will continue forever.
²Like the mountains that surround Jerusalem,
    the Lord surrounds and protects his people now and forever.
³The wicked will not always control the land of those who do right.
    If they did, even those who do right might start doing wrong.

⁴Lord, be good to those who are good,
to those who have pure hearts.
⁵But, Lord, when you punish those who do evil,
also punish those who have stopped following your way.

Let Israel always enjoy peace!
