Psalms 125:3

Context

125:3 Indeed, 1  the scepter of a wicked king 2  will not settle 3 

upon the allotted land of the godly.

Otherwise the godly might

do what is wrong. 4 

1 tn Or “for.”

2 tn Heb “a scepter of wickedness.” The “scepter” symbolizes royal authority; when collocated with “wickedness” the phrase refers to an oppressive foreign conqueror.

3 tn Or “rest.”

4 tn Heb “so that the godly might not stretch out their hands in wrongdoing.” A wicked king who sets a sinful example can have an adverse moral and ethical effect on the people he rules.
