Chapter 124

The Church, and holy members thereof, are always protected by God: ℣.5 The wicked being suffered for a while, are at last punished.

1. 1

   A gradual Canticle. They that trust in our Lord, as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

2. 2

   in Jerusalem. Mountains round about it: and our Lord round about his people, from hence forth now and for ever.

3. 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. 4

   Do well, o Lord, to the good, and right of heart.

5. 5

   But those that decline into obligations, our Lord will bring with them that work iniquity: peace upon Israel.
