Psalm 125

He deſcribeth the aſſurance of the faithful in their afflictions. 4 And deſireth their welth, 5 And the deſtruction of the wicked.
¶ A ſong of degrees.
1.THey that truſt in the Lord, ſhalbe as mount Zión, which can not be remoued, but remaineth for euer.
2.As the mountaines are about Ieruſalém: ſo is the Lord about his people from henceforthe and for euer.
3.For the rod of the wicked ſhal not reſt on the lot of the righteous, leſt the righteous put forthe their hand vnto wickednes.
4.Do wel, ô Lord, vnto thoſe that be good and true in their hearts.
5.But theſe that turne aſide by their croked waies, them ſhal the Lord leade with the workers of iniquitie: but peace ſhalbe vpon Iſraél.
