Ps. > Chapter 123 1 2 3 4 1UNTO thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.4Our...

Ps. > Chapter 124 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1IF it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.6Blessed be...

Ps. > Chapter 125 1 2 3 4 5 1THEY that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.4Do good, O LORD, unto...

Ps. > Chapter 126 1 2 3 4 5 6 1WHEN the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.5They that...

Ps. > Chapter 127 1 2 3 4 5 1EXCEPT the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.4As arrows are in the hand of a...

Ps. > Chapter 128 1 2 3 4 5 6 1BLESSED is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.5The...

Ps. > Chapter 129 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1MANY a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.6Let...

Ps. > Chapter 130 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1OUT of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.6My soul waiteth for the...

Ps. > Chapter 131 1 2 3 1LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Ps. > Chapter 132 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 1LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for...
