Psalmorum 125

1 Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in aeternum, qui habitat

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth 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, Henceforth even for ever!

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

For the sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Benefac Domine bonis, et rectis corde.

Do good, O LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in heart!

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

But such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
