Psalm 125
This is yet another song of ascents or pilgrimage psalm,
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures for ever.
I guess from the view of a couple of thousand years this is true enough, but geologists will tell us that the earth is in a constant state of change in geological times and that once the very mountain tops were on the sea be.
Furthermore this mechanism is essential for life on earth to exist.
However from the point of view of humanity most of the mountains have been in their current from since discovery, so from the Psalm writers, way before geology became a science, mountains are permanent
I've never visited Jerusalem, but I believe it is in a mountainous area with hills and mountains in every direction as the surrounding hills are likened to the surrounding presence of God.
The sceptre of hte wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands do do evil.
I'm not sure if this has actually happened, though for good people to do evil just takes an amount of following on and listening to messages of hate, walking with those who believe in violence and fitting in with evil people!
Sometimes one has to take a stand to maintain ones integrity.
Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.
But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish them with the evildoers.
