CHAPTER 123
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of servants
look
unto the hand of their masters,
and
as the eyes of a
maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes
wait
upon the L
ORD
our God, until
that he have mercy upon us.
3
Have mercy upon us, O L
ORD
, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with
contempt.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease,
and
with the
contempt of the proud.
CHAPTER 124
If
it had not been
the L
ORD
who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2
If
it had not been
the L
ORD
who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6
Blessed
be
the L
ORD
, who hath not given us
as
a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we
are escaped.
8
Our help
is
in the name of the L
ORD
, who made heaven and earth.
CHAPTER 125
They that trust in the L
ORD
shall be
as mount Zion,
which
cannot be removed,
but
abideth for ever.
2
As the mountains
are
round about Jerusalem, so the L
ORD
is
round about his people from
henceforth even for ever.
3
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put
forth their hands unto iniquity.
4
Do good, O L
ORD
, unto
those that be
good, and
to them that are
upright in their hearts.
5
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the L
ORD
shall lead them forth with the
workers of iniquity:
but
peace
shall be
upon Israel.
CHAPTER 126
When the L
ORD
turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
