PSALMS - Chapter 129

A Song of Ascents

"Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth," Let Israel now say—Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me. The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long."

YAHWEH is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back. Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, with which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.

Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of YAHWEH be upon you; we bless you in the name of YAHWEH!"

Chapter 130

A Song of Ascents

Out of the depths I have cried to You, O YAHWEH; Master, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

If you, YAHWEH, should mark iniquities, O Master, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be feared. I wait for YAHWEH, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Master more than those who watch for the morning—Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in YAHWEH; for with YAHWEH there is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Chapter 131

A Song of Ascents of David

YAHWEH, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in YAHWEH from this time forth and forever.
