Psalter number 356. The Divine Protection - Psalm 125

356. The Divine Protection. Psalm 125. 7s and 6s.

1. All who with heart confiding

Depend on God alone,

Like Zion's mount abiding,

Shall ne'er be overthrown.

Like Zion's city bounded

By guarding mountains broad,

His people are surrounded

Forever by their God.

2. No scepter of oppression

Shall hold unbroken sway,

Lest unto base transgression

The righteous turn away.

Thy favor be imparted

To godly men, O Lord;

Bless all that are pure-hearted,

The good with good reward.

3. The men who falsehood cherish,

Forsaking truth and right,

With wicked men shall perish,

God will their sin requite.

From sin Thy saints defending,

Their joy, O Lord, increase

With mercy never ending
