Psalm 125
HCSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleNew Living Translation
1A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be shaken; it remains forever. 1Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
2Jerusalem--the mountains surround her. And the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forever. 2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.
3The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice. 3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4Do what is good, LORD, to the good, to those whose hearts are upright. 4O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
5But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways, the LORD will banish them with the evildoers. Peace be with Israel. 5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
