| Young's Literal Translation (YLT) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved -- to the age it abideth.
|
1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
|
|
2 Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.
|
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
|
|
3 For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.
|
3 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.
|
4 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.
|
|
5 As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
|
5 But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
