125:1(A Song of degrees.) They that trust in the LORD [shall
be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot a be removed, [but]
abideth for ever.
(a) Though the world is subject to mutations, yet the
people of God will stand sure and be defended by God's
providence.
125:3 For the b rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot
of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands
unto iniquity.
(b) Though God permits his to be under the cross lest they
embrace wickedness, yet this cross will not so rest on
them, that it should drive them from hope.
125:5c As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the
LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity:
[but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
(c) He desires God to purge his Church from hypocrites and
such as have no zeal for the truth.
