1A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved — to the age it abideth.
2Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.

5As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
