The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
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 Ascents. Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 Yerushalayim! Mountains all around it! Thus ADONAI is around his people henceforth and forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.
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 scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.
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 their hearts.
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
As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
