1“A song of the degrees.” Those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, which will not he moved, which endureth for ever.
2Jerusalem hath mountains round about her: and so is the Lord round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore.
3For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous: in order that the righteous may not stretch forth their hands unto wrong-doing.
4Do good, O Lord, unto the good, and to those that are upright in their hearts.
