Psalmorum 125

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

[A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

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

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

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

For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

4 benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.

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

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

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
