| New International Version | New Living Translation |
| 1A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. | 1Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. |
| 2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore. | 2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. |
| 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. | 3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. |
| 4LORD, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. | 4O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. |
| 5But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel. | 5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace! |
