< Psalmorum 125 >
1 Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in aeternum, qui habitat
A Song of Ascents. They who trust in Yahweh, [are] like Mount Zion, which shall not be shaken, Age-abidingly, shall it remain.
2 in Ierusalem. Montes in circuitu eius: et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.
Jerusalem! mountains, are round about her; and Yahweh, is round about his people, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
3 Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem iustorum: ut non extendant iusti ad iniquitatem manus suas.
For the sceptre of lawlessness shall not remain over the allotment of the righteous, —lest the righteous put forth—unto perversity—their hands.
4 Benefac Domine bonis, et rectis corde.
Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.
5 Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem: pax super Israel.
As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!
