Psalms 124

1A Song of Degrees.

They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion:

He that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

2The mountains are round about her,

And so the Lord is round about his people,

From henceforth and even forever.

3For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners

To be upon the lot of the righteous;

Lest the righteous should stretch forth

Their hands to iniquity.

4Do good, O Lord, to them that are good,

And to them that are upright in heart.

5But them that turn aside to crooked ways

The Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity:

But peace shall be upon Israel.
