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 the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah `are' as Mount Zion, It is not moved -- to the age it abideth.
Jerusalem! mountains `are' round about her, And Jehovah `is' round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.
For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.
Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
As to those turning `to' their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
