The L{ORD} Surrounds His People.

A Song of Ascents.

1
Those who trust in the LORD
Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.

2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the LORD surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

3
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous,
So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

4
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good
And to those who are upright in their hearts.

5
But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
The LORD will lead them away with the doers of iniquity.
Peace be upon Israel.
