¹ I look up to the mountains—
    does my help come from there?

¹ I took my troubles to the Lord;
    I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.

¹ I lift my eyes to you,
    O God, enthroned in heaven.

²³ Our worship of idols on the hills
    and our religious orgies on the mountains
    are a delusion.
Only in the Lord our God
    will Israel ever find salvation.

³ People from many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of Jacob’s God.
There he will teach us his ways,
    and we will walk in his paths.”
For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion;
    his word will go out from Jerusalem.

⁶ For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne
    in Jerusalem,^[a] on my holy mountain.”

¹ On the holy mountain
    stands the city founded by the Lord.

¹⁵ The mountains of Bashan are majestic,
    with many peaks stretching high into the sky.
¹⁶ Why do you look with envy, O rugged mountains,
    at Mount Zion, where God has chosen to live,
    where the Lord himself will live forever?

⁶⁸ He chose instead the tribe of Judah,
    and Mount Zion, which he loved.
