Psalm 125 - God Is Our Protector

The author of Psalm 125 is not known; however, some believe it could of been Hezekiah.  The author shares with us that God is our awesome protector and that we can go to him knowing we will be taken care of. 

Psalm 125:1 - "Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever"

Did you know that the secret to consistency is to trust in God, because he never changes.  He cannot be shaken by the changes in our world and he endures forever.  The fads and ideas of our world, and our world itself, will not.

Psalm 125 / New International Version

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people
    both now and forevermore.
The scepter of the wicked will not remain
    over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good,
    to those who are upright in heart.
But those who turn to crooked ways
    the Lord will banish with the evildoers.
 
    Peace be upon Israel.
