A Song of degrees.

1 They that trust in the LORD Shall be as mount Zion, Which cannot be removed, But abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

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.

4 Do good, O LORD, Unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

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.
