A Song of Ascents.
1
Those who trust in YHVH are as Mount Zion,
which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so YHVH 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, YHVH, 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,
YHVH will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be on Israel.
