1 (Shir HaMa'alot [Song of Ascents])
They that trust in Hashem
shall be as Mount Tziyon, which is immoveable,
and abideth l'olam.
2 As harim (the mountains) surround Yerushalayim,
so Hashem surrounds His people
from henceforth v'ad olam (and to forever).
3 For the shevet (scepter) of the resha shall not rest
upon the goral (allotment, property) of the tzaddikim;
lest the tzaddikim put forth
their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, Hashem, unto the tovim,
and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,
Hashem shall turn them away with the workers of iniquity;
but shalom shall be upon Yisroel.
