1 Matkalaulu. Kuin Siionin vuori on Herraan luottava kansa, se ei horju vaan kestää iäti.
2 Niin kuin vuoret ympäröivät Jerusalemia, niin suojaa Herra kansaansa nyt ja aina.
3 Siksi ei vääryyden valtikka pysy oikeamielisten maassa eikä vanhurskas joudu tarttumaan vääryyden töihin.
4 Herra, palkitse hyvät hyvällä, oikeamieliset oikeudella.
5 Herra, tuhoa ne, jotka eksyvät kierouden poluille. Hävitä vääryydentekijät! Rauha ja menestys Israelille!
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.
