1 T hey that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

¶ Those that trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed but abides for ever.

2 A s the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from now on even for ever.

3 F or the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous because the righteous shall not put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 D o good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts.

¶ Do good, O LORD, unto those that are good and to those that are upright in their hearts.

5 B ut as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall take them away with the workers of iniquity; and peace shall be upon Israel.
