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