Psalm 125 reimagined

This song was sung by the travelers to Jerusalem as they climbed up towards the city.

Get to know the Lord and depend solely on him / her and you will be as well founded as the strongest city; unshakeable and built to last forever.
The Lord offers all the protection his / her people need; he / she defends them on every side, for all time.
He / she will not allow the unprincipled to influence what happens so that his / her people will not have their heads turned by things that distract them from him / her.
Lord may our hearts be aligned with your heart so we can please you by doing good.
Take care of those whose hearts have turned away from you, Lord. Judge them fairly and in love.

Your presence will be with those who love you.
