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. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people now and forever. 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. 4 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to those whose motives are decent. 5 But when people become crooked, the LORD will lead them away with troublemakers. Let there be peace in Israel! GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of God's Word to the Nations. Quotations are used by permission. Copyright 1995 by God's Word to the Nations. All rights reserved. |
