The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
The Bible in Basic English BBE
1 A song of ascents: Those who trust in ADONAI are like Mount Tziyon, which cannot be moved but remains forever.
1
<A Song of the going up.> Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.
2 Yerushalayim! Mountains all around it! Thus ADONAI is around his people henceforth and forever.
2
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.
3 For the scepter of wickedness will not rule the inheritance of the righteous, so that the righteous will not themselves turn their hands to evil.
3
For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.
4 Do good, ADONAI, to the good, to those upright in their hearts.
4
Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.
5 But as for those who turn aside to their own crooked ways, may ADONAI turn them away, along with those who do evil. Shalom on Isra'el!
5
But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.
