< Psalmorum 125 >
1 canticum graduum qui confidunt in Domino sicut mons Sion non commovebitur in aeternum qui habitat
A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells
2 in Hierusalem montes in circuitu eius et Dominus in circuitu populi sui ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum
in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.
3 quia non relinquet virgam peccatorum super sortem iustorum ut non extendant iusti ad iniquitatem manus suas
For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.
4 benefac Domine bonis et rectis corde
Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.
5 declinantes autem in obligationes adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem pax super Israhel
But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
