1 Those/We who trust in Yahweh are as secure/steadfast [SIM] as Zion Hill,

which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.

2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem protect the city,

Yahweh protects us, his people,

and he will protect us forever.

3 Wicked people [MTY] should not be allowed to rule over the land where righteous people live.

If they did that, those righteous people might ◄be encouraged to imitate them and► do things that are wrong.

4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others

and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].

5 But when you punish the wicked people who are not Israelis,

also punish those Israelis who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them!

I wish that things will go well for people in Israel!
