1<b>A Song of Ascents.</b> Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but stands forever.
2Just as mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from now on and forever.
3For the rule of evil will not remain over the land given to the righteous; this is so the righteous will not use their hands to do wrong.
4Yahweh, do good to those who are good, to those who are honest in their hearts.
5But as for those who turn to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with those who do evil. May there be peace for Israel.
