And Such Are Like Mount Zion

 

 

 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion.

It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the LORD surrounds His people,

both now and forevermore.

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest 

upon the land allotted to the righteous,

so that the righteous will not put forth

their hands to injustice.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

and to the upright in heart.

But those who turn to crooked ways

the LORD will banish with the evildoers.

Peace be upon Israel! 

Psalm 125
(Berean Standard Bible)

 

 "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion...Who trust not in themselves and in
their own hearts; nor in anything of theirs, their strength, or wisdom, riches, or righteousness;
nor in any creature whatever, in the mightiest or best of men; but in the Lord; in God, as the
God of nature and providence, for all temporal mercies; and in Him, as the God of grace,
for all spiritual and eternal ones; Who should be trusted in at all times, whether of affliction,
temptation, or darkness; for which there is abundant reason.

Christ, the essential Word, Who is trusted in by all who know Him, and that know there is
salvation in Him and no other; these trust in Him for acceptance with God, for a justifying
righteousness, for remission of sin, for all supplies of grace, and for eternal life; and such
are like Mount Zion for many things, being beloved and chosen of God, enjoying His
presence, and the blessings of His grace; and being the joy of the whole earth and a
perfection of beauty; but here for their firmness and stability.
