Psalm 125

Melody
  1. Those who trust in the LORD resemble
    Mount Zion, firm and sure,
    which ever will endure;
    it stands unmoved and will not tremble.
    So Israel will not be shaken
    or be forsaken.

  2. Jerusalem! As all around her
    the mountains stand on guard
    to keep her peace unmarred,
    so will the LORD himself surround her
    to guard his own and be their Saviour
    now and forever.

  3. The wicked’s sceptre will not humble
    the land he did entrust
    to people right and just,
    lest they, enticed by evil, stumble,
    and they their hands to wrong be turning,
    God’s counsel spurning.

  4. Do good, O LORD, to those who fear you,
    to those who in your sight
    are godly and upright.
    To all in Isr’el who revere you,
    when sinners to their doom are driven,
    your peace be given!
