Psalms Chapter 125 (ROTHERHAM)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 They who trust in Yahweh, [are] like Mount Zion, which shall not be shaken, Age-abidingly, shall it remain.

2 Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.

3 For the sceptre of lawlessness shall not remain over the allotment of the righteous,—lest the righteous put forth—unto perversity—their hands.

4 Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.

5 As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!
