On the Way

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

those who trust in the Lord (a psalm of ascents)

125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,


which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord surrounds his people,

from this time forth and forevermore.

3 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.

4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

and to those who are upright in their hearts!

5 But those who turn aside to their crooked ways

the Lord will lead away with evildoers!

Peace be upon Israel!
