1 Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion,

which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

3 For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous,

so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good,

to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways,

Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be on 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!
