1(Shir HaMa'alot [Song of Ascents]) 1They that trust in Hashem
shall be as Mount Tziyon, which is immoveable,
and abideth l'olam.

2As harim (the mountains) surround Yerushalayim,
so Hashem surrounds His people
from henceforth v'ad olam (and to forever).

3For the shevet (scepter) of the resha shall not rest
upon the goral (allotment, property) of the tzaddikim;
lest the tzaddikim put forth
their hands unto iniquity.

4Do good, Hashem, unto the tovim,
and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,
Hashem shall turn them away with the workers of iniquity;
but shalom shall be upon Yisroel.
