The LORD Surrounds His People.A Song of Ascents.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.1 [A song for going up to worship.] Those who trust the LORD are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken. It remains firm forever.1 Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can't be moved, but remains forever.1 {A Song of degrees.} They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.2 [As] the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people now and forever.2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.2 Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.
3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.3 A wicked ruler will not be allowed to govern the land set aside for righteous people. That is why righteous people do not use their power to do wrong.3 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.3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts.4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.4 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to those whose motives are decent.4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with the doers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.5 But when people become crooked, the LORD will lead them away with troublemakers. Let there be peace in Israel!5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel. A Song of Ascents.5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
