New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
1
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 From this time forth and forever.
2
Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.
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.
3
The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts.
4
O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
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!
5
But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD . Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
