Psalms 125:3 in Context — Psalms 125

1 Cántico gradual. LOS que confían en Jehová son como el monte de Sión, que no deslizará: estará para siempre.

2 Como Jerusalem tiene montes alrededor de ella, así Jehová alrededor de su pueblo desde ahora y para siempre.

3 Porque no reposará la vara de la impiedad sobre la suerte de los justos; porque no extiendan los justos sus manos á la iniquidad.

4 Haz bien, oh Jehová, á los buenos, y á los que son rectos en sus corazones.

5 Mas á los que se apartan tras sus perversidades, Jehová los llevará con los que obran iniquidad: y paz sea sobre Israel.
