1A Song of the Ascents. Those who trust in YHWH are like Mount Zion, which is not moved, but abides forever.
2Jerusalem — mountains are around her, and YHWH is around His people, from now and to forever.
3For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous, so that the righteous do not put forth their hands to iniquity.
4Do good, YHWH, to the good, and to those upright in their hearts.
5But those who turn aside to their crooked ways, YHWH will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
