A Song of Ascents. 1 They that trust in the LORD Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD 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 LORD, unto those that be good, And to them that are upright in their hearts. 5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel. |
