Psa 121:3 He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Psa 121:4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep. Psa 121:5 The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. Psa 121:6 The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. Psa 121:7 The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. Psa 121:8 The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever. -------- Psa 123:1 To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! Psa 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He is gracious to us. Psa 123:3 Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt. Psa 123:4 Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. -------- Psa 124:1 "Had it not been the Lord who was on our side," Let Israel now say, Psa 124:2 "Had it not been the Lord who was on our side When men rose up against us, Psa 124:3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us; Psa 124:4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul; Psa 124:5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul." Psa 124:6 Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. Psa 124:7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped. Psa 124:8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. -------- Psa 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever. Psa 125:2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. Psa 125:3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong. Psa 125:4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts. Psa 125:5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord will lead them away with the doers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel. -------- Psa 128:1 How blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways. Psa 128:2 When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, You will be happy and it will be well with you. Psa 128:3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within your house, Your children like olive plants Around your table. Psa 128:4 Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord. Psa 128:5 The Lord bless you from Zion, And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. Psa 128:6 Indeed, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel! -------- Psa 129:1 "Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up," Let Israel now say, Psa 129:2 "Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me. Psa 129:3 "The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows." Psa 129:4 The Lord is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked. Psa 129:5 May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward; Psa 129:6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up; Psa 129:7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom; Psa 129:8 Nor do those who pass by say, "The blessing of the Lord be upon you; We bless you in the name of the Lord." -------- Psa 130:1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord. Psa 130:2 Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. Psa 130:3 If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? Psa 130:4 But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. Psa 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope. Psa 130:6 My soul waits for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning. Psa 130:7 O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is lovingkindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. Psa 130:8 And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
