< 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.
Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
in Ierusalem. Montes in circuitu eius: et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
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.
Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem iustorum: ut non extendant iusti ad iniquitatem manus suas.
4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
Benefac Domine bonis, et rectis corde.
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.
Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem: pax super Israel.
