Psalms

Chapter 124

1
Agradual Canticle. They that trust in our Lord, as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2
in Jerusalem. Mountains round about it: and our Lord round about his people, from hence forth now and for ever.
3
Because our Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just reach not their hands to iniquity.
4
Do well, o Lord, to the good, and right of heart.
5
But those that decline into obligations, our Lord will bring with them that work iniquity: peace upon Israel.
