The LORD Surrounds His People

1(124:1) A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

2(124:2) The mountains are round about her, and so the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

3(124:3) For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

4(124:4) Do good, O Lord, to them that are good, and to them that are upright in heart.

5(124:5) But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
