Chapter 124

The just are always under God's protection.

1. 1

   A gradual canticle.

2. 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.

3. 4

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

4. 5

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