Psalms125

Psalms 125 declares that those who trust in the Lord are as secure and unshakeable as Mount Zion, abiding forever. The Lord's protection surrounds His people perpetually, akin to mountains encircling Jerusalem. He ensures the wicked do not perpetually oppress the righteous, lest they be tempted to sin. While He blesses the upright, those who turn to crooked ways will face judgment, ensuring peace for Israel.

The Permanent Security of the Faithful

1
A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved--to the age it abideth.
2
Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.

The Restraint of the Wicked

3
For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.
4
Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
5
As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
