The Psalms, starting at chapter 130
Psalm 130
A Song of Ascents.
{130:1} Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.
{130:2} Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
{130:3} If you, Yah, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
{130:4} But there is forgiveness with you,
Therefore you are feared.
{130:5} I wait for Yahweh.
My soul waits.
I hope in his word.
{130:6} My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the
morning;
More than watchmen for the morning.
{130:7} Israel, hope in Yahweh,
For with Yahweh there is loving kindness.
With him is abundant redemption.
{130:8} He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
Psalm 131
A Song of Ascents. By David.
{131:1} Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty;
Nor do I concern myself with great matters,
Or things too wonderful for me.
{131:2} Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother,
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
{131:3} Israel, hope in Yahweh,
From this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 132
A Song of Ascents.
{132:1} Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
{132:2} How he swore to Yahweh,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
{132:3} "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,
Nor go up into my bed;
{132:4} I will not give sleep to my eyes,
Or slumber to my eyelids;
{132:5} Until I find out a place for Yahweh,
A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
{132:6} Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah.
We found it in the field of Jaar:
{132:7} "We will go into his dwelling place.
We will worship at his footstool.
{132:8} Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place;
You, and the ark of your strength.
{132:9} Let your priest be clothed with righteousness.
Let your saints shout for joy!"
{132:10} For your servant David's sake,
Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
{132:11} Yahweh has sworn to David in truth.
He will not turn from it:
"I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
{132:12} If your children will keep my covenant,
My testimony that I will teach them,
Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
{132:13} For Yahweh has chosen Zion.
He has desired it for his habitation.
{132:14} "This is my resting place forever.
Here I will live, for I have desired it.
{132:15} I will abundantly bless her provision.
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
{132:16} Her priests I will also clothe with salvation.
Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
{132:17} There I will make the horn of David to bud.
I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
{132:18} I will clothe his enemies with shame,
But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
