The Lord Surrounds His People
A song of ascents.
125Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved and will endure forever.
2
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forevermore.
3
Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong.
4
Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, to the morally upright!
5
As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, may the Lord remove them, along with those who behave wickedly! May Israel experience peace!
