Protected People

Tune: Darwall

(Ye holy angels bright')

Psalm 125

***********

They that trust in the Lord

Shall be as says His word

As mount Zion, cannot

Be removed, firm their lot

But they abide for ever, He

Their rock and sure foundation be

As the mountains are round

Jerusalem, so round

About His people, so

They His presence do know

He surrounds them, e'en for ever

His protections they cease never

Fro wicked shall not stay

With righteous in their day

lest righteous turn their hands

To evil in their lands

Do good, O Lord, to those that be

Good, upright in heart, them you see

As such as turn aside

To crooked ways allied

The Lord shall them forth lead

And cast them out indeed

But peace shall be on Israel

Jew and Gentile, all God's people
