Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.

Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.
3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.

The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4 LORD, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.
4
O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
5 But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
5
But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD . Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
