Psalm 125

Another song of ascents.....about trust and safety.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, on which Jerusalem is built.
It cannot be moved.....it 'sits to eternity' (literal Hebrew per a note written in my Bible....
  probably from Pastor Beaulieu?)

And like the hills around Jerusalem provide protection for the city, so God surrounds
those who trust in Him.....and they can never be moved.  We, indeed, will 'sit to eternity.'
see Romans 8:38-39.

Wickedness will never overcome righteousness.  It's apparent rule over the righteous                  will not rest, or remain, forever.

Unless......the righteous place their trust in things around them.....in the world and it's ways,
or in any thing or one other than in the Lord.

"Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved....but abides forever."

The Lord will do good to those who are good.....those who are upright in their hearts....trusting in Him alone for everything.

But those who turn away from Him, to their own ways, will be led away with the workers of iniquity, and will be like them.  See Ps 1:6

Trust Him!  Obey Him!  For He alone is worthy!  And in Him alone do we find our help!

A friend shared this verse with me today, and I think it fits.....
Judges 5:31     at the end of the song of Deborah and Barak after God's help in winning a military victory.    

 "So may all your enemies perish, O Lord, But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might."

They'd trusted in the Lord, and not in themselves or their own might.
