King James Version KJV
Good News Translation GNT
1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
1
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken, never be moved.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
3
The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous; if they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.
4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
4
Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who obey your commands.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
5
But when you punish the wicked, punish also those who abandon your ways. Peace be with Israel!
