< Psalms 125 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
`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 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
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 won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
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, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
Lord, do thou wel; to good men, and of riytful herte.
5 But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
But the Lord schal lede them that bowen in to obligaciouns, with hem that worchen wickidnesse; pees be on Israel.
