Psalms
Chapter
125
1a~~{Title}'A
Psalm Going up the Steps of the Temple'
{shiyr ma`alah - referring 'meditation for going into Church/Temple'
on each step, the Psalmist would quote a verse, then move up to
the next step - a step at a time
it is literally translated 'A Song of Degrees'}
1b~~Those
who trust in Jehovah/God are like Mount Zion,
which
cannot be moved . . . but abides forever.
2~~As
the mountains/'the walls of Zion' surround Jerusalem,
so
Jehovah/God surrounds His people
from
this time forth and forever.
3``The
scepter of the evil/wicked shall never rest
upon
the land allotted to the righteous . . .
that
the righteous not set their hand to wrongdoing.
4``
Do good, O Jehovah/God, to the good . . .
to
the "upright in their 'right lobes'/hearts".
5``But
to those who in their crookedness act corruptly . . .
let
Jehovah/God make them go the way of evil-doers.
May it be well with Israel!
