Mountains of Mercies

"As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even forever" (Psalm 125:2). "I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD... which He hath bestowed on them according to His mercies.... the angel of His presence saved them: in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bare them, and carried them all the days of old" (Isaiah 63:7-9).

As mountains of Jerusalem
Are round about that city,
So likewise God encircles them
Whom He will save with pity.

Your presence, Lord, has surely seemed
Like mountains that surround
The people whom You have redeemed
With mercies that abound!
