Psalms125:2
Saints hemmed in by infinite love.
1. The City and the Girdle, or the symbols separated. a) Jerusalem imaging God's people. Anciently chosen; singularly honoured; much beloved; the shrine of Deity. b) The Mountain Girdle setting forth Jehovah: Strength; All sidedness; Sentinel through day and night.
2. The City within the Girdle, or the symbols related. a) Delightful Entanglement. The view from the windows! (Jehovah "round about.") To be lost must break through God! Sound sleep and safe labour. b) Omnipotent Circumvallation, suggesting —God's determination; Satan's dismay. This mountain ring immutable. —W. B. Haynes, of Stafford.
