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.
A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD, shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
As the mountains are round Jerusalem, so the LORD is around 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 to iniquity.
Do good, O LORD, to those that are good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
