A song of degrees.
1 They that trust in the Lord, shall be as mount Zion,
which cannot be removed, but remaineth forever.
2 As the mountains are about Jerusalem: so is
the Lord about his people from henceforth and
forever. (a)
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on
the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put forth
their hand unto wickedness. (b)
4 Do well, O Lord, unto those that be good and
true in their hearts.
5 But these that turn aside by their crooked
ways, them shall the Lord lead with the workers of
iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
(a) Verse 2
Psalm 31:3
For thou art my rock and my fortress: therefore
for thy Name’s sake direct me and guide me.
Psalm 118:6
The Lord is with me: therefore I will not fear
what man can do unto me.
Matthew 7:24 - 25
24 Whosoever then heareth of me these words,
and doeth the same, I will liken him to a wise man,
which hath builded his house on a rock:
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not:
for it was grounded on a rock
Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, that thou art j,2Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my Church: and the
gates of hell shall not overcome it.
Romans 8:31
What shall we then say to these things? If
God be on our side, who can be against us?
(b) Verse 3
Editor’s Thought Read Psalm 37
Proverbs 1:10 - 19
10 My son, jf sinners do entice thee, consent
thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, we will lay wait for
blood, and lie privily for the innocent without a
cause:
12 We will swallow them up alive like a 1grave,
even whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious riches, and fill our
houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us, we will all have one
purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them:
refrain thy foot from their path.
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to
shed blood.
17 Certainly as without cause the net is spread
before the eyes of all that hath wing:
18 So they lay wait for blood, and lie privily for
1their lives.
19 Such are the ways of everyone that is greedy
of gain: he would take away 1the life of the owners
thereof.
