Psalms 124
Qui confidunt. The just are always under God’s protection. A gradual canticle.
T hey that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion:
he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2 In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it:
so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
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 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good,
and to the upright of heart.
5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity:
peace upon Israel.
