2 Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,so the lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.
3 The wicked will not rule the land of the godly,for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4 O lord, do good to those who are good,whose hearts are in tune with you.
5 But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O lord.Take them away with those who do evil.May Israel have peace!
