The Lord surrounds his people
							
																								
								1
								
									 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

									As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
								
							 
																								
								3
								
									 For the scepter of the wicked will not rest  upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth  their hands to injustice.
								
							 
																								
								4
								
									 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

									But those who turn to crooked ways  the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
