Psalms 121; Psalms 123; Psalms 124; Psalms 125; Psalms 128; Psalms 129; Psalms 130

1 I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from?

2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 Indeed, the Protector of Israel does not slumber or sleep.

5 The Lord protects you; the Lord is a shelter right by your side.

6 The sun will not strike you by day, or the moon by night.

7 The Lord will protect you from all harm; He will protect your life.

8 The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever.

1 I lift my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

2 Like a servant's eyes on His master's hand, like a servant girl's eyes on her mistress's hand, so our eyes are on the Lord our God until He shows us favor.

3 Show us favor, Lord, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt.

4 We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant [and] contempt from the proud.

1 If the Lord had not been on our side- let Israel say-

2 If the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3 then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us.

4 Then the waters would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us;

5 the raging waters would have swept over us.

6 Praise the Lord, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's net; the net is torn, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.

2 Jerusalem-the mountains surround her. And the Lord surrounds His people, both now and forever.

3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice.

4 Do what is good, Lord, to the good, to those whose hearts are upright.

5 But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways, the Lord will banish them with the evildoers. Peace be with Israel.

1 How happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways!

2 You will surely eat what your hands have worked for. You will be happy, and it will go well for you.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house, your sons, like young olive trees around your table.

4 In this very way the man who fears the Lord will be blessed.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion, so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

6 and will see your children's children! Peace be with Israel.

1 Since my youth they have often attacked me- let Israel say-

2 Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not prevailed against me.

3 Plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

4 The Lord is righteous; He has cut the ropes of the wicked.

5 Let all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.

6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up

7 and can't even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.

8 Then none who pass by will say, "May the Lord's blessing be on you." We bless you in the name of the Lord.

1 Out of the depths I call to You, Lord!

2 Lord, listen to my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my cry for help.

3 Lord, if You considered sins, Lord, who could stand?

4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be revered.

5 I wait for the Lord; I wait, and put my hope in His word.

6 I [wait] for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning- more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord. For there is faithful love with the Lord, and with Him is redemption in abundance.

8 And He will redeem Israel from all its sins.
