Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2  As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the LORD surrounds 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  Do 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!

Peace be upon Israel!
