Psalms 125
Theme: God is our Protector. The mountains around Jerusalem symbolize God’s protection for his people.
A Song of degrees.
1They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. +
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. +
3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. +
4Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. +
5As 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. +
