Psalm Ps. 125. This psalm assures the Lord’s people that remaining loyal to him really is worthwhile. It is possible that some of Zion’s citizens might become unfaithful, but the Lord will publicly vindicate those who remain faithful. Like Psalm 122, this psalm stresses the ideal of what Jerusalem should be.
Ps. 125:1–2 the mountains surround Jerusalem. The hills on which Jerusalem sits are a little lower than the hills around it, so that one can picture the surrounding hills as a wall. This serves as an image of the Lord’s protection, as he surrounds his people like a high wall.
Ps. 125:3 The scepter of wickedness is kingly power held by Israelites who do not serve God and his people (the righteous). The Lord intends to protect his city, not simply from enemies outside the walls (v. 2) but from enemies within. shall not rest on the land. God will not allow the unrighteous to rule over his people forever.
Ps. 125:4–5 The Lord really does reward the faithful (v. 4), and he really does remove the unfaithful (v. 5) from his people. Peace will certainly be upon Israel when God so visibly validates the truthfulness of his word and when his people embrace it.
