A Song of Ascents.
1 Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion,
which can't be moved, but remains forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore. 3 For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment
of the righteous;
so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil. 4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good,
to those who are upright in their hearts. 5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
