1A Song of Ascents. They that trust in HaShem are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so HaShem is round about His people, from this time forth and for ever.

3For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

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

5But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, HaShem will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
