1 A song of ascents.Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.(A)
1 Those who are trusting in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be overthrown. They remain forever.
2 For the sceptre of lawlessness shall not remain over the allotment of the righteous, - lest the righteous put forth - unto perversity - their hands.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,So (C)the Lord surrounds His people(D)From this time forth and forever.
2 Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem, so the LORD encircles his people, from now to eternity.
3 Do good, O Yahweh, unto such as are good, even unto such as are upright in their hearts.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
3 For the (E)scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the (a)land of the righteous,So that the righteous (F)will not put forth their hands to do wrong.
3 The scepter of the wicked will not remainover the land allotted to the righteous,so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice.(C)
3 For evil's scepter will not rest on the land that has been allotted to the righteous, and so the righteous will not direct themselves to do wrong.
4 As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!
4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
4 LORD, do good to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.
