Ps 125:1-5. God honors the confidence of His people, by protection and deliverance, and leaves hypocrites to the doom of the wicked.
1, 2. Mount Zion--as an emblem of permanence, and locality of Jerusalem
as one of security, represent the firm and protected condition of God's
people (compare
Ps 46:5),
supported not only by Providence, but by covenant promise. Even the
mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but God's kindness
shall not depart, nor His covenant of peace be removed
(Isa 54:10).
They that trust--are "His people,"
(Ps 125:2).
