Psalms 125 Summary
Trust in the LORD's Eternal Protection
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, unmovable and eternal; the LORD surrounds his people as mountains surround Jerusalem, forever protecting them. The rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the righteous lest they be drawn to iniquity. The LORD does good to those who are good and upright in heart, while those who turn to crooked ways shall be led with the wicked; peace shall be upon Israel.
