New Living Translation NLT
English Standard Version ESV
1 Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
1
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.
3 The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
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 O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
4
Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts!
5 But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD . Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
5
But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the Lord will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!
