Israel’s Stability

1 A song of ascents.
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.(A)
2
Jerusalem—the mountains surround her.
And the Lord surrounds His people,
both now and forever.(B)
3
The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice.(C)
4
Do what is good, Lord, to the good,
to those whose hearts are upright.(D)
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)
