| 1 | שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת הַבֹּטְחִים בַּיהוָה כְּהַר־צִיּוֹן לֹא־יִמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵׁב | Shír ha-ma-a-lót. Ha-bo-te-khím ba-Ado-nái ke-har Tzi-yón; lo yi-mót le-o-lám ye-shév. | A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. |
| 2 | יְרוּשָׁלִַם הָרִים סָבִיב לָהּ וַיהוָה סָבִיב לְעַמּוֹ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם | Ye-ru-sha-lá-yim harím sa-viv láh; va-Ado-nái sa-viv le-am-mó; me-at-táh ve-ad o-lám. | As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, from this time forth and forevermore. |
| 3 | כִּי לֹא יָנוּחַ שֵׁבֶט הָרֶשַׁע עַל גּוֹרַל הַצַּדִּיקִים לְמַעַן לֹא־יִשְׁלְחוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּעַוְלָתָה יְדֵיהֶם | Ki lo ya-nú-akh shé-vet ha-ré-sha al go-ral ha-tzad-dí-kim; le-ma-an lo yish-le-khú ha-tzad-dí-kim be-av-láh ye-de-hém. | For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong. |
| 4 | הֵיטִיבָה יְהוָה לַטּוֹבִים וְלִישָׁרִים בְּלִבּוֹתָם | He-ti-váh Ado-nái la-to-vím; u-li-sha-rím be-li-bo-tám. | Do good, O the LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts! |
| 5 | וְהַמַּטִּים עַקַלְקַלּוֹתָם יוֹלִיכֵם יְהוָה אֶת־פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן שָׁלוֹם עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל | Ve-ha-ma-t-tím a-ka-la-ko-l-ló-tam yo-lí-khem Ado-nái et po-a-léi ha-a-vén; sha-lóm al Yis-ra-él. | But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel! |
