A Song of Ascents.

1 They that trust in Jehovah

Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,

So Jehovah is round about his people

From this time forth and for evermore.

3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;

That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,

And to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,

Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel.

A Song of Ascents.

1 Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion,

which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so Yahweh 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, Yahweh, 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,

Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be on Israel.
