The Psalmist likens these who trust in the Lord, i.e. the righteous, to mount Zion. And what is the key function about Zion? It cannot be moved, it abides forever. So the human beings of God just like Zion are secure, like a tent peg that is properly fastened, like an Iroko tree that is firmly rooted to the ground; they are secure forever. Isn't this blessed and wonderful?
