Viewing Multiple Passages

Psalms 129

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.

Psalms 130

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.

Psalms 131

1 Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I do not get involved with things too great or too difficult for me.
2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself like a little weaned child with its mother; I am like a little child.
3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord, both now and forever.
