Context of Psalms 125:1
People who trust in the Lord are strong, like Mount Zion. Nothing can shake it. It will always be there. 2The Lord is always near to his people, like the mountains round Jerusalem. He keeps his people safe, now and for ever. 3Wicked people will not rule over God's own people. They will not rule the land where righteous people live. If they did, the righteous people might also do bad things.
