1 ك َجَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ سَيَكُونُ الَّذِينَ يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى اللهِ ، فَلا يَسقُطُونَ أبَداً، بَلْ يَثبُتُونَ إلَى الأبَدِ.
¶ Those that trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed but abides for ever.
2 ك َما تُحِيطُ الجِبالُ بِالقُدسِ، هَكَذا يُحِيطُ اللهُ بِشَعبِهِ مِنَ الآنَ وَإلَى الأبَدِ.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from now on even for ever.
3 ل َيسَ لِعَصا الأشرارِ أنْ تَحكُمَ أرضاً خُصِّصَتْ لِلأبْرارِ، حَتَّى لا يَمُدَّ الأبْرارُ أيادِيَهُمْ إلَى الخَطَيَّةِ.
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 أ حسِنْ يا اللهُ إلَى الصّالِحِينَ وَمُستَقِيمِي القُلُوبِ.
¶ Do good, O LORD, unto those that are good and to those that are upright in their hearts.
5 و َلَيتَكَ يا اللهُ تُهلِكُ المُلتَوِينَ فِي سُلُوكِهِمْ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ الأشرارِ. لَيتَ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ يَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِالسَّلامِ!
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.
