Psalms 125:1 - Psalms 126:5
Psalms 125
1 They that trust in the Lord in mount Zion, cannot be removed, but abide forever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and unto the upright in their hearts.
5 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 Israel.
Psalms 126
Intro: Glory of Zion declared. (A Song of degrees.)
1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing; then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
