1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surroundeth his people from henceforth even for ever.3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity. the wicked: Heb. wickedness4 Do good, O LORD, to those that are good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
