The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil. LORD, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.

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. Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts!

The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.

The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice.  Do what is good, LORD, to the good, to those whose hearts are upright.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; Lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. Do good, O LORD, Unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts.

Those who trust in GOD are like Zion Mountain: Nothing can move it, a rock-solid mountain you can always depend on. Mountains encircle Jerusalem, and GOD encircles his people— always has and always will. The fist of the wicked will never violate What is due the righteous, provoking wrongful violence. 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!

For the scepter of wickedness will not rest upon the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not extend their hands to do wrong. ¶Do good, LORD, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts.

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.

Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong. Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to the morally upright!
