Psalm 124

The just are always under God's protection.

1. 1

   A gradual canticle. They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

2. 2

   in Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth, now and for ever.

3. 3

   For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

4. 4

   Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

5. 5

   But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
