A Song of Ascents. ¹ Those who trust in the LORD
Are as 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 forever. ³ For 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. ⁴ Do good, O LORD, to those who are good
And to those who are upright in their hearts. ⁵ But 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.
