The Lord surrounds his people

1
A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells
2
in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.
3
For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.
4
Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.
5
But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

The Lord surrounds his people

1
Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3
For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4
Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5
But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
