Psalms 121, 122, 123, 128, 130, 134, 135, 136

Psalms 121

Ps 121:1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. (NIV)

Psalms 122

Ps 122:1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.

4 That is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel.

5 There the thrones for judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.

7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you."

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity. (NIV)

Psalms 123

Ps 123:1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven.

2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

4 We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant. (NIV)

Psalms 128

Ps 128:1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways.

2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.

4 Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem,

6 and may you live to see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel. (NIV)

Psalms 130

Ps 130:1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;

2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.

3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.

6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.

8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. (NIV)

Psalms 134

Ps 134:1 A song of ascents. Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night in the house of the LORD.

2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD.

3 May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion. (NIV)

Psalms 135

Ps 135:1 Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD,

2 you who minister in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession.

5 I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.

6 The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.

7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals.

9 He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings--

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan and all the kings of Canaan--

12 and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.

13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;

17 they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

19 O house of Israel, praise the LORD; O house of Aaron, praise the LORD;

20 O house of Levi, praise the LORD; you who fear him, praise the LORD.

21 Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. (NIV)

2 Give thanks to the God of gods. <His love endures forever.>

10 to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt <His love endures forever.>

11 and brought Israel out from among them <His love endures forever.>

12 with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; <His love endures forever.>

13 to him who divided the Red Sea asunder <His love endures forever.>

14 and brought Israel through the midst of it, <His love endures forever.>

15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea; <His love endures forever.>

16 to him who led his people through the desert, <His love endures forever.>

17 who struck down great kings, <His love endures forever.>

18 and killed mighty kings-- <His love endures forever.>

19 Sihon king of the Amorites <His love endures forever.>

20 and Og king of Bashan-- <His love endures forever.>

21 and gave their land as an inheritance, <His love endures forever.>

22 an inheritance to his servant Israel; <His love endures forever.>

23 to the One who remembered us in our low estate <His love endures forever.>

24 and freed us from our enemies, <His love endures forever.>

25 and who gives food to every creature. <His love endures forever.>

26 Give thanks to the God of heaven. <His love endures forever.> (NIV)
