Israel's Stability
1 {A song of the stairs} They that put their trust in the LORD are even as the mount Zion, which may not be removed, but standeth fast forever.
1 {A Song of degrees.} They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
1 A Song of Ascents.Those who trust in the LordAre as Mount Zion, which (A)cannot be moved but (B)abides forever.
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 The hills stand about Jerusalem; even so standeth the LORD round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.
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 For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put their hand unto wickedness.
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.
5 As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness, the LORD shall lead them forth with the evil doers; but peace shall be upon Israel.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
5 But as for those who (I)turn aside to their (J)crooked ways,The Lord will lead them away with the (K)doers of iniquity.(L)Peace be upon Israel.
5 But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,the Lord will banish them with the evildoers.(E)Peace be with Israel.(F)
5 But for those who choose their own devious paths, the LORD will lead them away, along with those who practice evil. Peace be upon Israel. A Song of Ascents
