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!
