A song of ascents.
1
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
3
The scepter of the wicked will not remian over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.
4
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.
5
But those who turn to crooked ways
the LORD will banish with the evildoers.
Peace be upon Israel.
