Psalms 125

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth for ever.

Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about his people, Henceforth even for ever!

in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

3 For the sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum: ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas,

4 Do good, O LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in heart!

benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.

5 But such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!

Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël!
