1The song of degrees. They that trust in the Lord be as the hill of Zion; he shall not be moved without end, that dwelleth in Jerusalem.

2Hills be in the compass of it, and the Lord is in the compass of his people; from this time now, and into the world.

3For the Lord shall not leave the rod of sinners on the part of just [or rightwise] men; that just men hold not forth their hands to wickedness.

4Lord, do thou well to good men; and to rightful [or right] in heart.

5But the Lord shall lead them that bow into obligations, with them that work wickedness; peace be upon Israel.
