God honors the confidence of His people, by protection and deliverance, and leaves hypocrites to the doom of the wicked. (Psa 125:1-5)
Mount Zion — as an emblem of permanence, and locality of Jerusalem as one of security, represent the firm and protected condition of God's people (compare Psa 46:5), supported not only by Providence, but by covenant promise. Even the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but God's kindness shall not depart, nor His covenant of peace be removed (Isa 54:10).

Introduction to chapter 123
God honors the confidence of His people, by protection and deliverance, and leaves hypocrites to the doom of the wicked. (Psa 125:1-5)
Mount Zion — as an emblem of permanence, and locality of Jerusalem as one of security, represent the firm and protected condition of God's people (compare Psa 46:5), supported not only by Providence, but by covenant promise. Even the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but God's kindness shall not depart, nor His covenant of peace be removed (Isa 54:10).
They that trust — are "His people," (Psa 125:2).
