The Psalms, starting at chapter 124
Psalm 124
A Song of Ascents. By David.
{124:1} If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
let Israel now say,
{124:2} if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
when men rose up against us;
{124:3} then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us;
{124:4} then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
the stream would have gone over our soul;
{124:5} then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
{124:6} Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
{124:7} Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare.
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
{124:8} Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 125
A Song of Ascents.
{125:1} Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion,
which can't be moved, but remains forever.
{125:2} As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forth and
forevermore.
{125:3} For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment
of the righteous;
so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.
{125:4} Do good, LORD, to those who are good,
to those who are upright in their hearts.
{125:5} But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
The LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be on Israel.
Psalm 126
A Song of Ascents.
{126:1} When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion,
we were like those who dream.
{126:2} Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
{126:3} The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are glad.
{126:4} Restore our fortunes again, LORD,
like the streams in the Negev.
{126:5} Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
{126:6} He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,
will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
