Psalm 125

W. van der Kamp, 1972; rev.

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! The hills surround her
   And mountains stand on guard
   To keep her peace unmarred
   When threats of enemies confound her.
   So guards the LORD His own who hear Him
   And praise and fear Him.
   
3. The wicked’s scepter shall 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 hear Thee,
   To men good in Thy sight
   And in their hearts upright.
   Let in Thy Israel that fears Thee,
   When sinners to their doom are driven,
   Thy peace be given.
