[1] A Song of the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the
mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever. [2]
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his
people, from this time and for ever. [3] For the rod of sinners will not be
resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out
their hands to evil. [4] Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to
those who are upright in heart. [5] But as for such as are turned out of
the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil.
Let peace be on Israel.
