The Psalms, starting at chapter 130
Psalm 130
A Song of Ascents.
{130:1} Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
{130:2} Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
{130:3} If you, LORD, 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 the LORD.
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 the LORD,
for with the LORD 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} LORD, 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 the LORD,
from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 132
A Song of Ascents.
{132:1} LORD, remember David and all his affliction,
{132:2} how he swore to the LORD,
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 the LORD,
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, LORD, into your resting place;
you, and the ark of your strength.
{132:9} Let your priest be clothed with righteousness.
Let your holy ones shout for joy!"
{132:10} For your servant David's sake,
don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
{132:11} The LORD 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 the LORD 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 holy ones 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 resplendent."
