Psalms 125

1 `The song of greces. Thei that tristen in the Lord ben as the hil of Syon; he schal not be moued with outen ende,

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

2 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.

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

3 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.

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

4 Lord, do thou wel; to good men, and of riytful herte.

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

5 But the Lord schal lede them that bowen in to obligaciouns, with hem that worchen wickidnesse; pees be on Israel.

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