Psalm 114 ESV

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

1 “When Israel went out from Egypt,     the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary,     Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled;     Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams,     the hills like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?     O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?     O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,     at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turns the rock into a pool of water,     the flint into a spring of water.”

Psalm 123 ESV

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God
A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to you,     to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,     as the eyes of a female slave 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, Lord, have mercy on us,     for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no end     of ridicule from the arrogant,     of contempt from the proud.

Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—     let Israel now say—
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side     when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,     when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then the flood would have swept us away,     the torrent would have gone over us;
5 then over us would have gone     the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the Lord,     who has not given us     as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird     from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken,     and we have escaped!
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,     who made heaven and earth.

The Lord Surrounds His People

A Song of Ascents.

1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,     which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,     so the Lord surrounds his people,     from this time forth and forevermore.
3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest     on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out     their hands to do wrong.
4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,     and to those who are upright in their hearts!
5 But those who turn aside to their crooked ways     the Lord will lead away with evildoers!     Peace be upon Israel!

Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,     we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,     and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations,     “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;     we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,     like streams in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears     shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,     bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy,     bringing his sheaves with him.

Psalm 127 ESV

Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,     those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city,     the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early     and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil;     for he gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,     the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior     are the children[a] of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man     who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame     when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,     who walks in his ways!
2 You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;     you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine     within your house; your children will be like olive shoots     around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed     who fears the Lord.
5 The Lord bless you from Zion!     May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem     all the days of your life!
6 May you see your children's children!     Peace be upon Israel!

Psalm 129 ESV

They Have Afflicted Me from My Youth

A Song of Ascents.

1 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”—     let Israel now say—
2 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth,     yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back;     they made long their furrows.”
4 The Lord is righteous;     he has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 May all who hate Zion     be put to shame and turned backward!
6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops,     which withers before it grows up,
7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand     nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
8 nor do those who pass by say,     “The blessing of the Lord be upon you!     We bless you in the name of the Lord!”

My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive     to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,     O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,     that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,     and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord     more than watchmen for the morning,     more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!     For with the Lord there is steadfast love,     and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel     from all his iniquities.

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
 
1 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;     my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things     too great and too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,     like a weaned child with its mother;     like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, hope in the Lord     from this time forth and forevermore.
