PSALMS - Chapter 123

 A Song of Ascents

Unto you I lift up my eyes, O you who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to YAHWEH our Elohim, until He has mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, O YAHWEH, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Chapter 124

A Song of Ascents of David

"If it had not been YAHWEH who was on our side," let Israel now say—If it had not been YAHWEH who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul."

Blessed be YAHWEH, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of YAHWEH, who made heaven and earth.

Chapter 125

A Song of Ascents

Those who trust in YAHWEH are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so YAHWEH surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. Do good, O YAHWEH, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts. As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, YAHWEH shall lead them away with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel!
