1
A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.
3
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.
4
Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts.
5
As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
