Canticum graduum.
A gradual canticle.
(A song of ascents.)
1
Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat
1
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
1
Those who trust in the Lord are strong as mount Sion itself, that stands
2
in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
2
in Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
2
unmoved for ever. The hills protect Jerusalem; so the Lord protects his people, now and for ever.
3
Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum: ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas,
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
Domain of the just! No longer shall godless men bear rule in it; else the just, too, might soil their hands with guilt.
4
benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.
4
Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
4
Deal kindly, Lord, with the kindly, with the true-hearted.
5
Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël!
5
But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
5
Feet that stray into false paths the Lord will punish, as he punishes wrong-doers; but upon Israel there shall be peace.
