1 The people who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion: never shaken, lasting forever.
1 Those who trust in God are like Zion Mountain: Nothing can move it, a rock-solid mountain you can always depend on.
2 Mountains surround Jerusalem. That's how the LORD surrounds his people from now until forever from now!
2 Mountains encircle Jerusalem, and God encircles his people - always has and always will.
3 The wicked rod won't remain in the land given to the righteous so that they don't use their hands to do anything wrong.
3 The fist of the wicked will never violate What is due the righteous, provoking wrongful violence.
4 LORD, do good to people who are good, to people whose hearts are right.
4 Be good to your good people, God, to those whose hearts are right!
5 But as for those people who turn to their own twisted ways— may the LORD march them off with other evildoers! Peace be on Israel!
5 God will round up the backsliders, corral them with the incorrigibles. Peace over Israel!
