| New King James Version | New Living Translation |
| 1A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but 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 From this time forth and forever. | 2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. |
| 3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. | 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 those who are upright in their hearts. | 4O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. |
| 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 banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace! |
