1 Those who trust in God are like Zion Mountain: Nothing can move it, a rock-solid mountain you can always depend on.
1
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 Mountains encircle Jerusalem, and God encircles his people - always has and always will.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.
3 The fist of the wicked will never violate What is due the righteous, provoking wrongful violence.
3
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong.
4 Be good to your good people, God, to those whose hearts are right!
4
Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts!
5 God will round up the backsliders, corral them with the incorrigibles. Peace over Israel!
5
But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the Lord will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!
