The Lord surrounds his people

1
Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken or moved out of its place.
2
As the hills that surround Jerusalem protect it, so Yahweh protects us, his people, and he will protect us forever.
3
Wicked people should not be allowed to rule over the land where righteous people live. If they did that, those righteous people would think of doing wrong themselves.
4
Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands.
5
But when you punish the Israelites who no longer obey you, you will punish them the same as you punish all the other evildoers. I wish that things may go well for people in 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.
