  119:129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

  119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

  119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

  119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

  119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

  119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

  119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.

  119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.

  119:137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

  119:138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

  119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

  119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

  119:141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

  119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.

  119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

  119:145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.

  119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

  119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

  119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

  119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

  119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

  119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

  119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

  119:153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

  119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.

  119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

  119:156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.

  119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

  119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

  119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

  119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

  119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

  119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

  119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.

  119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

  119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

  119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.

  119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

  119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.

  119:169 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.

  119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.

  119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

  119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

  119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

  119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.

  119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

  119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

  120:1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

  120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

  120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

  120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

  120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

  120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

  120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

  121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

  121:2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

  121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

  121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

  121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

  121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

  121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

  121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

  122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

  122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

  122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

  122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

  122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

  122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

  122:7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

  122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

  122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

  123:1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

  123:2 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 LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

  123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

  123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

  124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

  124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

  124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

  124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

  124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

  124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

  124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

  124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

  125:1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

  125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

  125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

  125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

  125:5 As for such as turn aside
unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

  126:1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

  126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

  126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

  126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

  126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

  126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

  127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

  127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

  127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

  127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

  127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

  128:1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

  128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

  128:3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

  128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

  128:5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

  128:6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

  129:1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

  129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

  129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

  129:4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

  129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

  129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

  129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

  129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

  130:1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

  130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

  130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

  130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

  130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

  130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

  130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

  130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

  131:1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

  131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

  131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

  132:1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

  132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

  132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

  132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

  132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

  132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

  132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

  132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

  132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

  132:10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

  132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

  132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

  132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

  132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

  132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

  132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

  132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

  132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

  133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

  133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

  133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

  134:1 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

  134:2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

  134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

  135:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

  135:2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

  135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

  135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

  135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

  135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

  135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

  135:8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

  135:9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

  135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

  135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

  135:12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

  135:13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

  135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

  135:15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

  135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

  135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

  135:18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

  135:19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

  135:20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
