¹ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    which cannot be moved, but abides for ever.
² As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people,
    from this time on and for evermore.
³ For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest
    on the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous may not stretch out
    their hands to do wrong.
⁴ Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
    and to those who are upright in their hearts.
⁵ But those who turn aside to their own crooked ways
    the Lord will lead away with evildoers.
    Peace be upon Israel!
