Psalms 125
A psalm of security for those who trust in the Lord.
Psalm 125 pictures the person who trusts in the LORD as immovable "as mount Zion," and describes God surrounding His people the way mountains ring Jerusalem. It builds directly on the trust of Psalms 124, moving from a testimony of past rescue to a settled confidence about the future.
The `title of the hundrid and fyue and twentithe `salm. The song of grecis. Whanne the Lord turnede the caitifte of Sion; we weren maad as coumfortid.
Thanne oure mouth was fillid with ioye; and oure tunge with ful out ioiyng. Thanne thei schulen seie among hethene men; The Lord magnefiede to do with hem.
The Lord magnefiede to do with vs; we ben maad glad.
Lord, turne thou oure caitifte; as a stronde in the south.
Thei that sowen in teeris; schulen repe in ful out ioiyng.
Thei goynge yeden, and wepten; sendynge her seedis. But thei comynge schulen come with ful out ioiyng; berynge her handfullis.
