1 [A Song of degrees.] They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.2 Jerusalem! -mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto the 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!

1 'n Bedevaartslied. Die wat op die HERE vertrou, is soos die berg Sion wat nie wankel nie, maar bly tot in ewigheid.2 Rondom Jerusalem is berge; so is die HERE rondom sy volk van nou af tot in ewigheid.3 Want die septer van goddeloosheid sal nie rus op die erfdeel van die regverdiges nie, sodat die regverdiges hulle hande nie sal uitsteek na onreg nie.4 HERE, doen goed aan die goeies en aan die wat opreg is in hulle harte.5 Maar die wat langs krom paaie wegdraai, sal die HERE laat vergaan saam met die werkers van ongeregtigheid. Vrede oor Israel!
