These Psalms are in reference to the video - "Urgent:  From the Lord:  Sing the Ascension Psalms"  from neartochrist2.

ASCENSION PSALM 125  c.m.

1.  They in the Lord that firmly trust,
Shall be like Zion hill -
Which at no time can be removed,
But standeth ever still.

2.  As round about Jerusalem
The mountains ever stand,
So God his people will surround,
And evermore defend.

3.  For ill men's rod upon the lot
Of just men shall not lie,
Lest righteous men stretch forth their hands
To work iniquity.

4.  Do thou to all those who are good
Thy goodness, Lord, impart.
And also do thou good to them
Who upright are in heart.

5.  But as for such as turn aside
In their own crooked way,
God shall lead forth with wicked men.
On Israel peace shall stay.

ASCENSION PSALM 125   7s&6s. d.

1.  He that in God confideth,
Like Zion Mount shall be,
Which evermore abideth
Unmoved eternally.

2.  As mountains, which defend her,
Jerusalem surround,
His saints secure to render,
God compasseth around.

3.  The sinner's rod shall never
On just men's lot abide,
Lest upright men should ever
To sin be turned aside.

4.  Thy goodness, Lord, our Saviour,
To all the good impart.
And ever show thy favor
To men of upright heart.

5.  But those whose choice is rather
In crooked ways to go -
With sinners God shall gather.
On Israel peace bestow.
