 1  They in the Lord that firmly trust
       shall be like Zion hill,
    Which at no time can be removed,
       but standeth ever still.
 2  As round about Jerusalem
       the mountains stand alway,
    The Lord his folk doth compass so,
       from henceforth and for aye.

 3  For ill men's rod upon the lot
       of just men shall not lie;
    Lest righteous men stretch forth their hands
       unto iniquity.
 4  Do thou to all those that be good
       thy goodness, Lord, impart;
    And do thou good to those that are
       upright within their heart.

 5  But as for such as turn aside
       after their crooked way,
    God shall lead forth with wicked men:
       on Isr'el peace shall stay.

BIBLE PASSAGE:

1 ¶ They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 ¶ Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
