New Living Translation

Read the Word

Pick up where you left off, or start fresh. The whole Bible, in clear everyday language.

Psalms 125

The Lord Surrounds His People

1A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.

3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.

4O Lord, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.

5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
