For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not reach out their hands to do wrong. ¶Do good, O LORD, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts. But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways [in unresponsiveness to God], The LORD will lead them away with those who do evil. Peace be upon Israel.

Be good to your good people, GOD, to those whose hearts are right! GOD will round up the backsliders, corral them with the incorrigibles. Peace over Israel!

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 trust in the Lord are as unshakable, as unmovable as mighty Mount Zion!

But those who turn away from truth— them you will turn away from you, to follow their crooked ways. You will give them just what they deserve. May Israel experience peace and prosperity!
