Psalms 124:1-5

Haydock's commentary on this chapter

Qui confidunt. The just are always under God’s protection. A gradual canticle.

1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2 

In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

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.

4 

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

5 

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