Psalms 125

Garner-Howes Baptist CommentaryGarner-Howes

Verses 1-5

Psalms 125

Blessed Assurance

Scripture v. 1-5:

Verse 1 asserts that those who trust in the Lord shall be like Mount Zion, which can not be removed from the Lord, but abides for

ever. Those who trust in the lord for salvation and help can no more be spiritually moved by attacks of Satan than the material Mount Zion, Psalms 46:5; Proverbs 3:3-5. For such "shall be safe," Proverbs 29:25.

Verse 2 declares that as the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is encamped, encircling his people forever, world without end, Psalms 34:7; The arms of the Lord are a fortress, securing His people, John 10:27-30; Hebrews 13:5.

Verse 3 states that the rod of wickedness (scepter of the heathen) shall not rest upon the lot (land) of the righteous of Israel: The scepter of the Messiah shall one day break the scepter of the oppressing heathen, Psalms 2:9; Psalms 45:6; Psalms 94:20. "Lest the righteous put forth their hands into iniquity," turn from right, Psalms 73:13; Isaiah 57:16; Genesis 3:22.

Verse 5 concludes that those who turn aside into the ways of the crooked, the snake-hearted, should be led forth by the Lord (to judgment) with the workers of iniquity, Job 23:11; Isaiah 30:11; Proverbs 2:15; Malachi 2:8; Psalms 26:9; Psalms 28:3. "But peace shall be upon Israel," with all their trials then over, Psalms 128:6; Galatians 6:16.
