"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."
— Psalms 125:3, World English 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. ”
“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.”
“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.”
Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can't be moved, but remains forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.
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.
Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel. A Song of Ascents.
