Psalmorum 125

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

Those who trust in Adonai are as Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

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

As the mountains surround Jerusalem [City of peace], so Adonai surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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

For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the upright; so that the upright won’t use their hands to do evil.

4 benefac Domine bonis et rectis corde

Do good, Adonai, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

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

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Adonai will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel [God prevails].
