Salmos 125

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.

1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.

2 In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.

3 The wicked will not always rule*125:3. Literally, "the scepter of wickedness." over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.

4 Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.

5 But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil.*125:5. It seems that two groups are in view here: unfaithful Israelites, and heathen people who do wrong. May Israel be at peace!
