Psalm 121, 123-125, 128-130

Psalm 121

1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?

2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on your right hand.

6 The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.

8 The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever *.

Psalm 123

1 To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens!

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He is gracious to us.

3 Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 124

1 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,” Let Israel now say,

2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;

5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”

6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 125

1 Those who trust in the LORD Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever *.

3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

4 Do good, O LORD, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with the doers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

Psalm 128

1 How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways.

2 When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, You will be happy and it will be well with you.

3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within your house, Your children like olive plants Around your table.

4 Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the LORD.

5 The LORD bless you from Zion, And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 Indeed, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

Psalm 129

1 “Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,” Let Israel now say,

2 “Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 “The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.”

4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.

5 May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;

6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;

7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;

8 Nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD.”

Psalm 130

1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD.

2 Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

3 If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope.

6 My soul waits for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is lovingkindness, And with Him is abundant redemption.

8 And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
