[1] A Song of Ascents. [2] Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides for ever. [3] As the mountains are round
about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people, from this time
forth and for evermore. [4] For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
upon the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous put forth their
hands to do wrong. [5] Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those
who are upright in their hearts! [ (Psalms 125:6) But those who turn aside
upon their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be in
Israel! ]
