The Lord surrounds his people

1
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, || It is not movedit abides for all time.
2
Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, || And YHWH [is] around His people, || From now oneven for all time.
3
For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, || That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.
4
Do good, O YHWH, to the good, || And to the upright in their hearts.
5
As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, || YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

The Lord surrounds his people

1
Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD 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, LORD, 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, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
