1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but remains forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from now on and forever.

3 For the scepter of wickedness will not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not stretch out their hands to do wrong.

4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.

5 But those who turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead away with evildoers.
