The Heavens Declare (19)

`Those who trust_ in the LORD are / as Mount Zion,

`which cannot be moved_, but re / mains forever.

`As the moun_ tains surround Je / rusalem,

`so the LORD sur / rounds his people • • from `this time forward and for / ever more.

`For the scepter of_ / wickedness

will `not remain over the land allotted / to the righteous,

`so_ that the / right~ eous

`will not use their hands_ / to do evil.

(Ref)

Do `good, O LORD, to those_ / who are good,

to `those who are upright_ / in their hearts.

But `as for those who turn away_ to their / crooked ways, 

the `LORD will lead them away with the workers of in / iquity. • • `Peace_ be on / Israel.
