A Song
of degrees.
They that trust
in the LORD
shall be as mount
Zion,
which cannot be removed,
but abideth
for ever.
As the mountains
are round about
Jerusalem,
so the LORD
is round about
his people
from henceforth even for
ever.
For the rod
of the wicked
shall not rest
upon the lot
of the righteous;
lest
the righteous
put forth
their hands
unto iniquity.
Do good,
O LORD,
unto those that be good,
and to them that are upright
in their hearts.
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.
