Psalms 125
A psalm of security for those who trust in the Lord.
Psalm 125 pictures the person who trusts in the LORD as immovable "as mount Zion," and describes God surrounding His people the way mountains ring Jerusalem. It builds directly on the trust of Psalms 124, moving from a testimony of past rescue to a settled confidence about the future.
Those who trust in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so Jehovah is round about his people from this time forth and for evermore.
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous, that the righteous not put forth their hands to iniquity.
Do good, O Jehovah, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.
But as for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
