1Those who trust in Adonai are as Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking],

which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2As the mountains surround Jerusalem [City of peace],

so Adonai surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

3For the scepter of ethical wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the upright;

so that the upright won’t use their hands to do evil.

4Do good, Adonai, to those who are good,

to those who are upright in their hearts.

5But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,

Adonai will lead them away with the workers of vain striving of iniquity.

Peace be on Israel [God prevails].
