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 Hierusalem 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 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 Israhel

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