A song for going up to the Temple.[603]
<1> Those who trust in the Lord
are like Mount Zion.
They will never be shaken.
They will continue forever.
<2> Mountains are all around Jerusalem,
and the Lord is around his people.
He will protect his people now and forever.
<3> The wicked will not always control the land of those who do right.
If that happened, even those who do right might start doing what is wrong.
<4> Lord, be good to those who are good,
to those who have pure hearts.
<5> But, Lord, when you punish those who do evil,
also punish those who have stopped following your way.
Let Israel always enjoy peace!
