Being surrounded has several purposes, two of which are to keep out and keep in. Keep out the things that come from the outside that can harm you and keep in the things that you don't want to lose. What assurance the people of Jerusalem must have felt looking at the mountains that surrounded them, knowing that their God was around them in the same manner. What assurance we have also for the scripture continues—so the Lord is round his people from henceforth even for ever.
