< Psalms 125 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.
`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! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.
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 rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.
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 YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
Lord, do thou wel; to good men, and of riytful herte.
5 As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
But the Lord schal lede them that bowen in to obligaciouns, with hem that worchen wickidnesse; pees be on Israel.
