The LORD Is Round about His People
1251 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore. 3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.
4 Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. 5 But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
The LORD Is Round about His People
1251 Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. 2 Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever. 3 The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4 O Lord, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. 5 But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord . Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
The LORD Is Round about His People
1251 Those who trust in God are like Zion Mountain: Nothing can move it, a rock-solid mountain you can always depend on. 2 Mountains encircle Jerusalem, and God encircles his people - always has and always will. 3 The fist of the wicked will never violate What is due the righteous, provoking wrongful violence.
4 Be good to your good people, God, to those whose hearts are right! 5 God will round up the backsliders, corral them with the incorrigibles. Peace over Israel!
