1. A song of ascents.Those trusting in the Lord are like Mount Zion,unshakable, forever enduring.
2. As mountains surround Jerusalem,the Lord surrounds his peopleboth now and forever.
3. The scepter of the wicked will not prevailin the land allotted to the just,Lest the just themselvesturn their hands to evil.
4. Do good, Lord, to the good,to those who are upright of heart.
5. But those who turn aside to crooked waysmay the Lord send down with the evildoers.Peace upon Israel!
