Contemporary English Version

Psalms 125

(A song for worship.)

The Lord's People Are Safe

1 Everyone who trusts the Lord
    is like Mount Zion
    that cannot be shaken
    and will stand forever.
2 Just as Jerusalem is protected
    by mountains on every side,
the Lord protects his people
    by holding them in his arms
    now and forever.
3 He won't let the wicked
rule his people
    or lead them to do wrong.
4 Let's ask the Lord to be kind
to everyone
    who is good
    and completely obeys him.

5 When the Lord punishes
    the wicked,
he will punish everyone else
who lives a crooked life.
    Pray for peace in Israel!
