The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as a one-to-one correspondence.
images: Elisha is surrounded in Dothan (2 Kings 6). Elisha is, as usual, depicted bald because of 2 Kings 2 where he called down a curse on the deacons of Bethel.

A Song of Ascents
PSALM 125 C.M.

1 They in the LORD that firmly trust
shall be like Zion hill,
Which at no time can be removed,
but standeth ever still.

2 As round about Jerusalem
the mountains stand alway,
The LORD his folk doth compass so,
from henceforth and for aye.

3 For ill men’s rod upon the lot
of just men shall not lie;
Lest righteous men stretch forth their hands
unto iniquity.

4 Do thou to all those that be good
thy goodness, LORD, impart;
And do thou good to those that are
upright within their heart.

5 But as for such as turn aside
after their crooked way,
GOD shall lead forth with wicked men:
on Isr’el peace shall stay.
