Psalter Number 354.   Our Sure Defense - Psalm 125

 

1. Like Zion's steadfast mount are they
Who in the Lord confide;
Secure, immovable they stand,
Forever to abide.

2. As round about Jerusalem
The mountains give defense,
Jehovah is His people's guard,
Their lasting confidence.

3. No tyrant's scepter o'er the good
Shall undisturbed abide,
Lest righteous men, oppressed by wrong,
To evil turn aside.

6. O Thou Who are Thy people's shield,
Their helper and their guide,
Upon them let Thy grace and peace
Forevermore abide.
