Trusting God makes you steady as a mountain. He surrounds His people.

Summary of Psalms 125

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but stands forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people forever. The wicked will not rule over the righteous. The psalmist asks God to do good to the upright, and blesses Israel with peace.

Psalms 125:1 (KJV)

Psalms 125: full text (King James Version)

1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 As 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.
