< Psalmorum 125 >
1 Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat
A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
2 in Ierusalem. Montes in circuitu eius: et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth and for ever.
3 Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem iustorum: ut non extendant iusti ad iniquitatem manus suas.
For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Benefac Domine bonis, et rectis corde.
Do good, O LORD, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem: pax super Israel.
But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
