{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.

The hills stand about Jerusalem; even so standeth the LORD round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.

For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put their hand unto wickedness.

Do well, O LORD, unto those that be good and true of heart.

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.
