124:2. In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
124:3. 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.
124:4. Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
124:5. But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
Psalms Chapter 125
In convertendo.
The people of God rejoice at their delivery from captivity.
A gradual canticle.
125:1. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
125:2. Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.
