1 A Song of Ascents.2 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides for ever.3 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.4 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous put forth their hands to do wrong.5 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts! [ (Psalms 125:6) But those who turn aside upon their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be in Israel! ]
