Who make the Lord of hosts their tower,
Shall like Mount Zion be,
Immovable by mortal power,
Built on eternity.
As round about Jerusalem
The guardian mountains stand,
So shall the Lord encompass them
Who hold by his right hand.
The rod of wickedness shall ne’er
Against the just prevail.
Lest innocence should find a snare,
And tempted virtue fail.
Do good, O Lord, do good to those
Who cleave to thee in heart,
Who on thy truth alone repose,
Nor from thy law depart.
