Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 125
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.Pro 16:20; Pro 28:25; Isa 33:20
In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.
The wicked will not always rule125:3. Literally, “the scepter of wickedness.” over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.Act 22:30
Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.Psa 7:10; Psa 112:4
But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil.125:5. It seems that two groups are in view here: unfaithful Israelites, and heathen people who do wrong. May Israel be at peace!Psa 128:6; Gal 6:16
