1  Those who ^gtrust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2  As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord ^hsurrounds his people,

from this time forth and forevermore.

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  ⁱDo good, O Lord, to those who are good,

and to those who are upright in their hearts!

5  But those who turn aside to their crooked ways

the Lord will lead away with evildoers!

^jPeace be upon Israel!
