As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    the Lord surrounds his people
now and forever.

The ·wicked will not rule
    over [L scepter of the wicked will not rest on; C the scepter is a symbol of rule] ·those who do right [L the allotment of the righteous].
·If they did, the people who do right
    might use their power to do evil [L …so the righteous do not send forth their hands in evil].

Lord, ·be [or do] good to those who are good,
    whose hearts are ·honest [virtuous; filled with integrity].
