Authored by: Traditional
125:1
שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת הַבֹּטְחִים בַּיהוָה כְּהַר־צִיּוֹן לֹא־יִמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵׁב׃
A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

125:2
יְרוּשָׁלִַם הָרִים סָבִיב לָהּ וַיהוָה סָבִיב לְעַמּוֹ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם׃
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about His people, From this time forth and for ever.
125:3
כִּי לֹא יָנוּחַ שֵׁבֶט הָרֶשַׁע עַל גּוֹרַל הַצַּדִּיקִים לְמַעַן לֹא־יִשְׁלְחוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּעַוְלָתָה יְדֵיהֶם׃
For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

125:4
הֵיטִיבָה יְהוָה לַטּוֹבִים וְלִישָׁרִים בְּלִבּוֹתָם׃
Do good, O LORD, unto the good, And to them that are upright in their hearts.
125:5
וְהַמַּטִּים עַקַלְקַלּוֹתָם יוֹלִיכֵם יְהוָה אֶת־פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן שָׁלוֹם עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

Faith compared to an immovable mountain

'They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed' uses geography itself as the metaphor for stability. Does comparing faith to an immovable mountain hold up as well for people whose actual circumstances keep shifting under...

Rashi on Psalms 125:1

<b>Those who trust in the Lord</b> will not falter, like Mount Zion, which will not falter, for just as Jerusalem is surrounded by mountains, so is the Holy One, blessed be He, around His people.
