The Lord Surrounds His People

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 forevermore.
³ For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
⁴ Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts!
⁵ But those who turn aside to their crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with evildoers!
Peace be upon Israel!
