1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
1 Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.
3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
3For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.
