Psalms 125:1
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
3 For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
