Inscription
PSAL C X X V / THEY that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which can / not be removed, but abideth for ever. / As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is / round about his people from henceforth even for ever. / 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 / As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity but peace shall be upon Israel / Ann Clarkson Her Work Aged Ten Years 1 7 7 5 //
