Psalms 125 — full chapter (King James Version)
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount , which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about , so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the of the righteous; lest the righteous forth their hands unto iniquity. Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon .
