Psalm 125

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Tune: IRISH Psalm 125 Scottish Psalter (1650)

Psalm Text

They in the Lord that firmly trust

shall be like Sion hill,

Which at no time can be remov'd,

but standeth ever still.

As round about Jerusalem

the mountains stand alway,

The Lord his folk doth compass so,

from henceforth and for aye.

For ill men's rod upon the lot

of just men shall not lie;

Lest righteous men stretch

forth their hands unto iniquity.

Do thou to all those that be good

thy goodness, Lord, impart;

And do thou good to those that are

upright within their heart.

But as for such as turn aside

after their crooked way,

God shall lead forth with wicked men:

on Isr'el peace shall stay.
