A Song of Ascents.

• ¹Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion,
• which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

• ²As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
• so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

• ³For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous;
• so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

• ⁴Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good,
• to those who are upright in their hearts.

• ⁵But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
• Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.

• Peace be on Israel.
