1 A Song of the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.3 For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.5 But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.

1 They that trust in Jehovah

Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,

So Jehovah is round about his people

From this time forth and for evermore.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;

That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,

And to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,

Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel.
