Psalm 125:2
Geneva Bible 1599
Chapter overview
Psalm 125 compares trusting people to immovable Mount Zion and surrounding protection to Jerusalem's mountains. Oppressive rule will not remain forever; integrity is encouraged, crooked paths are rejected, and peace concludes the prayer.
ZionStabilityProtectionPeace
1A song of degrees. They that trust in the Lord, shalbe as mount Zion, which can not be remooued, but remaineth for euer.
2As the mountaines are about Ierusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and for euer.
3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, least the righteous put forth their hand vnto wickednes.
4Doe well, O Lord, vnto those that be good and true in their hearts.
5But these that turne aside by their crooked wayes, them shall the Lord leade with the workers of iniquitie: but peace shalbe vpon Israel.
