CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells
125:1 Cántico gradual. LOS que confían en Jehová son como el monte de Sión, que no deslizará: estará para siempre.
2 in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.
125:2 Como Jerusalem tiene montes alrededor de ella, así Jehová alrededor de su pueblo desde ahora y para siempre.
3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.
125:3 Porque no reposará la vara de la impiedad sobre la suerte de los justos; porque no extiendan los justos sus manos á la iniquidad.
4 Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.
125:4 Haz bien, oh Jehová, á los buenos, y á los que son rectos en sus corazones.
5 But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
125:5 Mas á los que se apartan tras sus perversidades, Jehová los llevará con los que obran iniquidad: y paz sea sobre Israel.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 125.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXXIV)

    Ye already well know, dearest brethren, that a "Song of Degrees," is a song of our ascent: and that this ascent is not effected by the feet of the body, but by the affections of the heart.

    ...Words of God, speaking to Saul about David. Or again, Do good, O Lord, unto the good...and all other like expressions concerning those of us who are praised, upon whom it is a kind of effluence from the Supreme Good, and has come to them in a secondary degree.
