Chapter Summary

A Song of Ascent expressing confident trust: those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion that cannot be shaken. As mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people. The scepter of the wicked will not rest on the land allotted to the righteous. Peace be upon Israel.

1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
