1A song of the steps. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion; they shall not be shaken; they shall dwell forever.2Jerusalem—mountains are around her, and the LORD is around his people from now and forever.3For the staff of wickedness will not rest upon the allotted portion of the righteous, so that the righteous may not send their hands into injustice.4Do good, O LORD, to the good and to the upright in their hearts.5As for those who stretch their crooked ways, the LORD leads them with the workers of evil. Peace upon Israel.
