The words

All those who trust the LORD Like Zion are secure, Which never can be moved But always will endure.

Just as the mountains stand Around Jerusalem, The LORD surrounds his own, For ever guarding them.

The wicked’s evil rule Will not oppress for long The righteous and their land, Lest righteous folk do wrong.

On all those who are good Bestow your goodness, LORD— To those of upright heart Who reverence your word.

But God will banish those Who choose a crooked way; They’ll share the sinner’s fate. Let peace on Israel stay!

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
