< 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 can’t 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 forward and forever more.
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 away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
