1
Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
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!
