Psalms – Chapter 124

Old Testament5 Verses

1A gradual canticle. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

2In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

3For 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.

4Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

5But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.

Reflection for Today

As Catholics read Psalms Chapter 124, we do so within the living Tradition that has guarded this text for two millennia.

The saints did not treat Scripture as antiquarian literature. St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis de Sales, and countless others used passages such as this to fuel daily conversion. the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love remains a practical lesson for modern disciples.

Entrust your meditation to Mary, who pondered God's Word in her heart. Through her intercession, may the message of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love bear fruit in humility, courage, and charity this day.
