New Living Translation | New International Version |
1Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. | 1A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. |
2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. | 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore. |
3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. | 3The 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. |
4O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. | 4LORD, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. |
5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace! | 5But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel. |
