The Lord surrounds his people

Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken or moved out of its place.

As the hills that surround Jerusalem protect it, so Yahweh protects us, his people, and he will protect us forever.

Wicked people should not be allowed to rule over the land where righteous people live. If they did that, those righteous people would think of doing wrong themselves.

Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands.

But when you punish the Israelites who no longer obey you, you will punish them the same as you punish all the other evildoers. I wish that things may go well for people in Israel!

The Lord surrounds his people

Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

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.

Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

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.
