Psalm 125
1. The safety of such as trust in God
4. A prayer for the godly, and against the wicked














(5) Turn aside unto their crooked ways.--Or, bend their crooked ways, i.e., pursue evil courses.

But peace.--Better, as an innovation on the customary form, peace be in Israel. (See Note on Psalm 122:6, and comp. Psalm 128:6.)

Verse 5. - As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways. The word translated "crooked ways" occurs only here and in Judges 5:6. It means properly "by-paths," deviations from the straight path of right. The Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. God shall give them no better portion than he assigns to the open evildoers, since their heart is not really whole with him. But peace shall be upon Israel; rather, but peace be upon Israel. The psalmist winds up with a prayer, not a prophecy.
