1 A song of ascents:
Those who trust inAdonai
are like Mount Tziyon,
which cannot be moved
but remains forever.
2 Yerushalayim!
Mountains all around it!
ThusAdonaiis around his people
henceforth and forever.
3 For the scepter of wickedness
will not rule the inheritance of the righteous,
so that the righteous will not themselves
turn their hands to evil.
4 Do good,Adonai, to the good,
to those upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who turn aside
to their own crooked ways,
mayAdonaiturn them away,
along with those who do evil.
Shalomon Isra’el!
