Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New Living Translation NLT
1 (124-1) <A gradual canticle.> 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 as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
2 (124-2) In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
2
Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.
3 (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.
3
The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4 (124-4) Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
4
O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
5 (124-5) But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
5
But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD . Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
