Psalm 125: Steady as Zion, Surrounded by the Lord

This episode reflects on Psalm 125, which promises that those who trust in the Lord will be like Mount Zion, unmoved and enduring. The psalm paints a picture drawn from Jerusalem itself, where mountains stand round about the city, and uses that familiar geography as a historical image of God’s constant protection around his people forever. It also offers a sober comfort: the rod of the wicked will not rest upon the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous be driven toward iniquity. The psalm becomes a prayer and a guide for the heart, asking God to do good to those who are good and upright, while warning that those who turn aside to crooked ways will be led forth with workers of iniquity. It closes with a blessing, holding out the hope of peace upon Israel, and inviting the listener to quiet trust, uprightness of heart, and confidence in the Lord’s surrounding care.

Psalm

They that trust in the Lord shall
be as mount Zion, which cannot

be removed, but abideth for ever.

As the mountains are round about
Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about

his people from henceforth even for ever.

For the rod of the wicked shall
not rest upon the lot of the

righteous; lest the righteous put
forth their hands unto iniquity.

Do good, O Lord, unto those
that be good, and to them that

are upright in their hearts.

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.
