Psalm 125
The Lord Surrounds His People.
A Song of Ascents.
125 Those who trust in the Lord
Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.
- The Lord Surrounds His Peoples
o What a great opening statement
o If the Lord surrounds His people than nothing can harm them without going through the Lord first
- A Song of Ascents
o This another song that would be sang on the way up to Jerusalem
o Something to be sang on the way to meet with the Lord in His house
- Those who trust in the Lord
o This is an exclusive group
o Are you one of those who trust in the Lord
- Those in this exclusive group
o Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever
o Mount Zion is a picture of strength & stability
o It is also the future home Jesus Christ when He returns and rules and reigns forever
o If you trust in the Lord, your future is SOLID
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.
- This is incredible !!!
- As the mountains surround Jerusalem
o This is what this compares too
- So the Lord surrounds His people
o Praise the Lord He surrounds us all like the mountains!
- From this time forth and forever
o It started immediately and continues today and tomorrow & forever
o This is our present condition!
o Have you considered that you are, I am, we are surrounding by the Lord
3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the [a]land of the righteous,
So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.
- The scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous
o The scepter is the power to judge and/or to punish
o God promises that evil rulers will not continue to rule over the land given to Israel
§ It may granted or given to them for a time but it will end in God’s timing
§ God allows Israel’s enemies to come into power over His children because they sinned and deserved punishment for disobedience
§ But like a father to a son, discipline is necessary but not permanent
§ Nobody other than God knows best when enough is enough
- So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong
o Even Godly people can reach the end of their rope
o If evil rulership continued for too long, countless believers may finally give up and give in to the demands and habits of evil people
o God is not going to let this happen
4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good
And to those who are upright in their hearts.
- This is a please for God to reward the good and the bad
