< Psalms 125 >
1 “A song of the degrees.” Those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, which will not he moved, which endureth for ever.
`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 Jerusalem hath mountains round about her: and [so] is the Lord round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.
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 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous: in order that the righteous may not stretch forth their hands unto wrong-doing.
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 Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and to those that are upright in their hearts.
Lord, do thou wel; to good men, and of riytful herte.
5 But as for those who turn aside unto their crooked ways, them will the Lord drive away with the workers of wickedness; but peace shall be upon Israel.
But the Lord schal lede them that bowen in to obligaciouns, with hem that worchen wickidnesse; pees be on Israel.
