Psalms 125:4

JusticeMercy and compassion

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.

3 For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

5 But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
