¹ Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

² As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

³ For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

⁴ Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
