1 A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.
1 Cántico gradual. LOS que confían en Jehová son como el monte de Sión, que no deslizará: estará para siempre.
1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
2 Como Jerusalem tiene montes alrededor de ella, así Jehová alrededor de su pueblo desde ahora y para siempre.

3 For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.
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.
3 For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.
4 Haz bien, oh Jehová, á los buenos, y á los que son rectos en sus corazones.
4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
5 Mas á los que se apartan tras sus perversidades, Jehová los llevará con los que obran iniquidad: y paz sea sobre Israel.
5 But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on 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).

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.

  2. Quotes verse 125:4 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Fourth Theological Oration, Which is the Second Concerning the Son)

    ...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.
