1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

*Those who believe in the Lord will be like Mount Zion, which can't be moved and stays forever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

*Just like mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord will always be around his people forevermore.

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

*The bad person's punishment won't be on the good person's side, or else the good person might do something wrong.

4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

*Please good things, God, for the good people and those with honest hearts.

5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

*Those who go down the wrong path will be led away with those who do evil, but peace will be for Israel.
