125:2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
125:3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.
125:4 Do good, O Lord , to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.
125:5 But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
17:10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
17:11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one.
17:12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
17:13 "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
17:14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
17:15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
17:18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
17:19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
