Psalmorum 125

1 canticum graduum qui confidunt in Domino sicut mons Sion non commovebitur in aeternum qui habitat

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, that cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 in Hierusalem montes in circuitu eius et Dominus in circuitu populi sui ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum

Round Jerusalem are the mountains, and the Lord is round his people from now and for evermore.

3 quia non relinquet virgam peccatorum super sortem iustorum ut non extendant iusti ad iniquitatem manus suas

For he will not suffer the sceptre of wrong to rest on the land allotted to the righteous; else the righteous might put forth their own hand to evil.

4 benefac Domine bonis et rectis corde

Do good, O Lord, to the good, and to the true-hearted.

5 declinantes autem in obligationes adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem pax super Israhel

But those who swerve into crooked ways will the Lord lead away with the workers of evil. Peace be upon Israel.
