1 [A song for going up to worship.] Those who trust the LORD are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken. It remains firm forever. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. A song of ascents. 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 now and forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
3 A wicked ruler will not be allowed to govern the land set aside for righteous people. That is why righteous people do not use their power to do wrong. 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. The scepter of the wicked will not remain 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 whose motives are decent. Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts! LORD, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.
5 But when people become crooked, the LORD will lead them away with troublemakers. Let there be peace in Israel! But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel! But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
