Psalms 125:5

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.

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

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

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
