A Song of Ascents.

1They that trust in Jehovah

Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,

So Jehovah is round about his people

From this time forth and for evermore.

3For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;

That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

4Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,

And to them that are upright in their hearts.

5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,

Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

A Song of Ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord surrounds his people,

from this time forth and forevermore.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest

on the land allotted to the righteous,

lest the righteous stretch out

their hands to do wrong.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

and to those who are upright in their hearts!

But those who turn aside to their crooked ways

the Lord will lead away with evildoers!

Peace be upon Israel!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

A song of ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord surrounds his people

both now and forevermore.

The scepter of the wicked will not remain

over the land allotted to the righteous,

for then the righteous might use

their hands to do evil.

Lord, do good to those who are good,

to those who are upright in heart.

But those who turn to crooked ways

the Lord will banish with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.

It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.

The mountains surround Jerusalem

and the Lord surrounds his people,

both now and forever.

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.

Do what is good, Lord, to the good,

to those whose hearts are upright.

But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,

the Lord will banish them with the evildoers.

Peace be with Israel.

NLTNew Living Translation

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;

they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.

The wicked will not rule the land of the godly,

for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.

O Lord, do good to those who are good,

whose hearts are in tune with you.

But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord.

Take them away with those who do evil.

May Israel have peace!

but abides forever.

As mountains are round about Jerusalem,

so Yahweh is round about his people,

from now until forever.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest

on the land of the righteous,

lest the righteous stretch out

their hands to do wickedness.

Do good, O Yahweh, to the good,

and to those upright in their hearts.

But regarding those who turn aside to their crooked ways,

Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers.

Peace be upon Israel.

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.
