| 1 | Those who trust in, lean on,
and
confidently hope in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides
and
stands fast forever. |
| 2 | As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from this time forth and forever. |
| 3 | For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the [uncompromisingly] righteous, lest the righteous (God’s people) stretch forth their hands to iniquity
and
apostasy. |
| 4 | Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are right [with You and all people] in their hearts. |
| 5 | As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways [of indifference to God], the Lord will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel! |
