2 And as about Jerusalem Mountains enclose that [holy] ground; ⟨p. 223⟩So will the Lord for evermore [Himself] his people compass round.
3 For just mens rights and heritage [Wicked] men shall not still possess, Lest righteous men should then put forth Their [tempted] hand to wickedness.
4 Do good, Lord, to those that are good, To men [that are] of upright heart; But as for such as turn aside, In crooked ways [by sin] pervert.
5 The Lord shall lead them forth with those Who [love and] work iniquity; But everlasting blessed peace On [God's true] Israel shall be.
