Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1
In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
2 Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you,
n and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue?
4 o A warrior's p sharp arrows,
with glowing q coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in r Meshech,
that I dwell among s the tents of t Kedar!
6 Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.
7 u I am for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war!

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1
I was glad when they said to me,
g "Let us go to the house of the Lord!"
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem - h built as a city
that is i bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes j go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was k decreed for 1 Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There l thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.

6 m Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
"May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your n walls
and security within your n towers!"
8 For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, o "Peace be within you!"
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will p seek your good.

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

A Song of Ascents.

1
To you I q lift up my eyes,
O you who are r enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.

3 s Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of t contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enough
of u the scorn of v those who are at ease,
of the contempt of w the proud.

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1
x If it had not been the Lord who was on our side -
y let Israel now say -
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have z swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then a the flood would have b swept us away,
the torrent would have gone c over us;
5 then over us would have gone
the raging waters.

6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird
from d the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!

8 e Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

3 For i the scepter of wickedness shall not j rest
on k the land allotted to the righteous,

the Lord will lead away with q evildoers!
r Peace be upon Israel!

A Song of Ascents.

1
When the Lord s restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who t dream.
2 Then our u mouth was filled with laughter,

then they said among the nations,
v "The Lord has done great things for them."
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 w Those who sow in tears

6 He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,

Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

1
Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord x watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious y toil;
for he gives to his z beloved a sleep.

3 Behold, b children are a heritage from the Lord,
c the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of d a warrior
are the children 2 of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies e in the gate. 3

around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.

5 k The Lord bless you l from Zion!

all the days of your life!
6 May you see your n children's children!

Psalms 129

They Have Afflicted Me from My Youth

A Song of Ascents.

1
"Greatly 4 have they p afflicted me q from my youth" -
r let Israel now say -
2 "Greatly have they p afflicted me q from my youth,
s yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 t The plowers plowed u upon my back;
they made long their furrows."
4 The Lord is righteous;
he has cut v the cords of the wicked.
5 May all who hate Zion
be w put to shame and turned backward!
6 Let them be like x the grass on the housetops,
which y withers before it grows up,
7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand
nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
8 nor do those who pass by say,
a "The blessing of the Lord be upon you!
We b bless you in the name of the Lord!"

Psalms 130

A Song of Ascents.

1
Out of c the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!

to e the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should f mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could g stand?
4 But with you there is h forgiveness,
i that you may be feared.

5 I j wait for the Lord, k my soul waits,
and l in his word I hope;
6 my soul m waits for the Lord
more than n watchmen for o the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, p hope in the Lord!
For q with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will r redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.

Psalms 131

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1
O Lord, my heart is not s lifted up;
my eyes are not t raised too high;
I do not u occupy myself with things
too great and v too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned w child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 x O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.

Psalms 132

The Lord Has Chosen Zion

A Song of Ascents.

1
Remember, O Lord, in David's favor,
all y the hardships he endured,
2 how he swore to the Lord
and z vowed to a the Mighty One of Jacob,
3 "I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
4 I will not b give sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 until I c find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for a the Mighty One of Jacob."

6 Behold, we heard of it in d Ephrathah;
we found it in e the fields of Jaar.
7 "Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us f worship at his g footstool!"

8 h Arise, O Lord, and go to your i resting place,
you and the ark of your j might.
9 Let your k priests be l clothed with righteousness,
and let your m saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David,
n do not turn away the face of o your anointed one.

11 p The Lord swore to David a sure oath
q from which he will not turn back:
r "One of the sons of your body 5
I will set on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
shall s sit on your throne."

13 For the Lord has t chosen Zion;
he has u desired it for his dwelling place:
14 "This is my v resting place forever;
here I will w dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly x bless her provisions;
I will y satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Her z priests I will clothe with salvation,
and her z saints will shout for joy.
17 There I will make a a horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared b a lamp for c my anointed.
18 His enemies I will d clothe with shame,
but on him his crown will shine."

Psalms 133

1
Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when e brothers dwell in unity! 6
2 It is like the precious f oil on g the head,

3 It is like i the dew of j Hermon,
which falls on k the mountains of Zion!
