Song of Secured Hope
Steve McKenzie
Psalm 125

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the LORD surrounds his people,

from this time forth and forevermore.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest

on the land allotted to the righteous,

lest the righteous stretch out

their hands to do wrong.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good,

and to those who are upright in their hearts!

But those who turn aside to their crooked ways

the LORD will lead away with evildoers!

Peace be upon Israel!
