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. It cannot be moved; it abides 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, both now and forevermore.

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

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

4 benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

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

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
