Like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken
1A song of ascents. Whoever trusts in the LORD is like Mount Zion: nothing can shake it; it stays in place forever. 2Mountains ring Jerusalem all around, and the LORD is all around his people, from now on and forever. 3Wicked rule will not stay in place over the land that belongs to the righteous, or even the righteous might reach out their hands to do wrong. 4LORD, be good to good people, to all whose hearts are upright. 5But as for people who wander off onto crooked paths, the LORD will drive them away with all who do evil. May Israel have peace!
