1 Those who trust in Adonai are as Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking],
which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem [City of peace],
so Adonai surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3 For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the upright;
so that the upright won’t use their hands to do evil.
4 Do good, Adonai , to those who are good,
to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
Adonai will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be on Israel [God prevails].
