Berean Study Bible | New Living Translation |
1A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever. | 1Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. |
2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore. | 2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. |
3For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice. | 3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. |
4Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart. | 4O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. |
5But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel. | 5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace! |
