1 T hose who trust in the Lord Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.

They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

2 A s the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.

Jerusalem!—mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

3 F or the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 D o good, O Lord, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts.

Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 B ut as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord will lead them away with the doers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

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