Who place on Zion's God their trust,
like Zion's rock shall stand;
Like her immovably be fixed
by his almighty hand.
Look how the hills on ev'ry side
Jerusalem enclose;
So stands the Lord around his saints,
to guard them from their foes.
The wicked may afflict the just,
but ne'er too long oppress,
Nor force him by despair to seek
base means for his redress.
Be good, O righteous God, to those
who righteous deeds affect;
The heart that innocence retains
let innocence protect.
All those who walk in crooked paths
the Lord shall soon destroy;
Cut off th' unjust, but crown the saints
with lasting peace and joy.
