Psalm 124 (125)

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

1 A gradual canticle. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

2 in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus ; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

2 In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

3 Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum : ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas,

3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

4 benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.

4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

5 Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël !

5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
