New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. | 1Those who are trusting in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be overthrown. They remain forever. |
2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. | 2Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem, so the LORD encircles his people, from now to eternity. |
3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. | 3For evil's scepter will not rest on the land that has been allotted to the righteous, and so the righteous will not direct themselves to do wrong. |
4Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts. | 4LORD, do good to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart. |
5As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel! | 5But for those who choose their own devious paths, the LORD will lead them away, along with those who practice evil. Peace be upon Israel. |
