Psalm 125
A psalm written for people going up to the temple to worship.
1 Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken or moved out of its place.
2 As the hills that surround Jerusalem protect it,
so Yahweh protects us, his people,
and he will protect us forever.
3 Wicked people should not be allowed to rule over the land where righteous people live.
If they did that, those righteous people would think of doing wrong themselves.
4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others
and to those who sincerely obey your commands.
5 But when you punish the Israelites who no longer obey you,
you will punish them the same as you punish all the other evildoers.
I wish that things may go well for people in Israel!
