PSALMS 125

1 Those/We who trust in Yahweh are as secure/steadfast [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved. 2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem protect the city, Yahweh protects us, his people, and he will protect us forever. 3 Wicked people [MTY] should not be allowed to rule over the land where righteous people live. If they did that, those righteous people might ◄be encouraged to imitate them and► do things that are wrong. 4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM]. 5 But when you punish the wicked people who are not Israelis, also punish those Israelis who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for people in Israel!
