Psalms 125:2

Jerusalem
Protection and safetyGod's faithfulnessGod's presence

1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
