< 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.
Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat
2 Jerusalem hath mountains round about her: and [so] is the Lord round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.
in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
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.
Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum: ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas,
4 Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and to those that are upright in their hearts.
benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.
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.
Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël!
