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 like Mount Zion, that cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 in Ierusalem. Montes in circuitu eius: et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

Round Jerusalem are the mountains, and the Lord is round his people from now and for evermore.

3 Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem iustorum: ut non extendant iusti ad iniquitatem manus suas.

For he will not suffer the sceptre of wrong to rest on the land allotted to the righteous; else the righteous might put forth their own hand to evil.

4 Benefac Domine bonis, et rectis corde.

Do good, O Lord, to the good, and to the true-hearted.

5 Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem: pax super Israel.

But those who swerve into crooked ways will the Lord lead away with the workers of evil. Peace be upon Israel.
