	SLT Smith's Literal Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Song of ascensions. They trusting in Jehovah are as mount Zion; it shall not be moved; remaining 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	Jerusalem, the mountains are round about to her; and Jehovah is round about to his people from now and even to 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	For the rod of the unjust one shall not rest upon the lot of the just; so that the just shall not stretch forth their hand in iniquity.	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 Jehovah, to the good and to the upright in their hearts.	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	And those turning to their winding ways, Jehovah will cause them to go with those working iniquity: peace upon 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.
