< Psalms 125 >
1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.
`The song of greces. Thei that tristen in the Lord ben as the hil of Syon; he schal not be moued with outen ende,
2 In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.
that dwellith in Jerusalem. Hillis ben in the cumpas of it, and the Lord is in the cumpas of his puple; fro this tyme now and in to the world.
3 The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.
For the Lord schal not leeue the yerde of synneris on the part of iust men; that iust men holde not forth her hondis to wickidnesse.
4 Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.
Lord, do thou wel; to good men, and of riytful herte.
5 But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—those the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace!
But the Lord schal lede them that bowen in to obligaciouns, with hem that worchen wickidnesse; pees be on Israel.
