NET Bible
"Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong."
— Psalms 125:3, NET Bible
“For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.”
“For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity. ”
“For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.”
“The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.”
“For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.”
“For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.”
A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved and will endure forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, now and forevermore.
Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong.
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to the morally upright!
As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, may the LORD remove them, along with those who behave wickedly! May Israel experience peace!
