| English Standard Version | New International Version |
| 1Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. | 1A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. |
| 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore. | 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore. |
| 3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong. | 3The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil. |
| 4Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts! | 4LORD, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. |
| 5But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel! | 5But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel. |
