¹A song of ascents:

Those who trust in Adonai

are like Mount Tziyon,

which cannot be moved

but remains forever.

²Yerushalayim!

Mountains all around it!

Thus Adonai is around his people

henceforth and forever.

³For the scepter of wickedness

will not rule the inheritance of the righteous,

so that the righteous will not themselves

turn their hands to evil.

⁴Do good, Adonai , to the good,

to those upright in their hearts.

⁵But as for those who turn aside

to their own crooked ways,

may Adonai turn them away,

along with those who do evil.

Shalom on Isra’el!
