SEV Biblia, Chapter 125:2
Como Jerusalén tiene montes alrededor de ella, así el SEÑOR alrededor de su pueblo desde ahora y para siempre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 124:2
Verse 2. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem ] Jerusalem, according to Sandys, was situated on a rocky mountain every way to be ascended, except a little on the north, with steep ascents and deep valleys, naturally fortified. It is surrounded with other mountains, at no great distance, as if placed in the midst of an amphitheatre; for on the east is Mount Olivet, separated from the city by the valley of Jehoshaphat, which also encompasses a part of the north; on the south, the mountain of Offiner interposed with the valley of Gehinnom; and on the west it was formerly fenced with the valley of Gihon, and the mountains adjoining. The situation was such as to be easily rendered impregnable.
The Lord is round about his people ] He is above, beneath, around them; and while they keep within it, their fortress is impregnable, and they can suffer no evil.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-3 - All those minds shall be truly stayed, that are stayed on God. The shall be as Mount Zion, firm as it is; a mountain supported by providence, much more as a holy mountain supported by promise. The cannot be removed from confidence in God. They abide for ever in tha grace which is the earnest of their everlasting continuance in glory Committing themselves to God, they shall be safe from their enemies Even mountains may moulder and come to nothing, and rocks be removed but God's covenant with his people cannot be broken, nor his care of them cease. Their troubles shall last no longer than their strengt will bear them up under them. The rod of the wicked may come, may fal upon the righteous, upon their persons, their estates, their liberties their families names, on any thing that falls to their lot; only i cannot reach their souls. And though it may come upon their lot, it shall not rest thereon. The Lord will make all work together for their good. The wicked shall only prove a correcting rod, not a destroying sword; even this rod shall not remain upon them, lest they distrust the promise, thinking God has cast them off.
