Psalms 125:2

The Lord the Strength of His People

A Song of Ascents.

1 Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

3 For ^athe scepter of wickedness shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
And to those who are upright in their hearts.

Psalms 125:1-2

God honors the confidence of His people, by protection and deliverance, and leaves hypocrites to the doom of the wicked. (Psalms 125:1-5)

Mount Zion—as an emblem of permanence, and locality of Jerusalem as one of security, represent the firm and protected condition of God's people (compare Psalms 46:5), supported not only by Providence, but by covenant promise. Even the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but God's kindness shall not depart, nor His covenant of peace be removed (Isaiah 54:10).

They that trust—are "His people," (Psalms 125:2).
