Psalms 125 Footnotes

Ps 125 The security of the true believer is like the security of Mount Zion that is surrounded by mountains; but those who turn aside to sin have no security in the Lord (Heb 6:4-8; 1Jn 2:19).

125:3 The scepter is the symbol of rule; “the scepter of the wicked” would refer to a corrupt and unjust rule by either a Gentile or an unrighteous Israelite or Judean king. Either situation was a threat to the righteous.
