Psalms 125

1 A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

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

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

in Ierusalem. Montes in circuitu eius: et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.

3 The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem iustorum: ut non extendant iusti ad iniquitatem manus suas.

4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

Benefac Domine bonis, et rectis corde.

5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.

Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem: pax super Israel.
