Psalm 130

*A Song of degrees.

1  aOut of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.

2  Lord, hear my voice:

bLet thine ears be attentive to bbthe voice of my supplications.

3  If thou, cLord, shouldest dmark iniquities,

O Lord, ewho shall fstand?

4  But there is gforgiveness with thee,

hThat thou mayest be feared.

5  iI wait for the Lord, kmy soul doth wait,

And lin his word do I hope.

6  My soul waiteth for the Lord

More than they mthat watch for nthe morning:

||I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7  oLet Israel hope in the Lord:

For pwith the Lord there is mercy,

And with him is plenteous redemption.

8  And qhe shall redeem Israel

From all his iniquities.

Psalm 131

*A Song of degrees †of David.

1  Lord, aMy heart is not haughty, nor bmine eyes lofty:

Neither cdo I †exercise myself in great matters, or in things too †high for me.

2  Surely I have behaved and quieted †myself,

dAs a child that is weaned of his mother:

My soul is even as a weaned child.

3  eLet Israel hope in the Lord

†From henceforth and for ever.

Psalm 132

*A Song of degrees.

1  *Lord, aRemember David,

And all his afflictions:

2  How he sware unto the Lord,

And aavowed unto bthe mighty God of Jacob;

3  Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

Nor go up into my bed;

4  I will not cgive sleep to mine eyes,

Or cslumber to mine eyelids,

5  Until dI find out a place for the Lord,

†An habitation for bthe mighty God of Jacob.

6  Lo, we heard of eit at fEphratah:

gWe found it in the fields hof the wood.

7  We will go into his itabernacles:

jWe will worship at his kfootstool.

8  lArise, O Lord, into mthy rest;

Thou, and the enark of thy strength.

9  oLet thy priests be clothed with righteousness;

And let thy psaints shout for joy.

10  For thy servant David’s sake

qTurn not away the face of rthine anointed.

11  sThe Lord thath sworn in truth unto David;

tHe will not turn from it;

uOf the fruit of †thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12  vIf thy children will keep my covenant

And my testimony that I shall teach them,

Their children shall also wsit upon thy throne for evermore.

13  xFor the Lord hath chosen Zion;

He hath desired it for his habitation.

14  This is ymy rest for ever:

Here zwill I dwell; for I have desired it.

15  aI will ||abundantly bless her provision:

I bwill satisfy her poor with bread.

16  cI will also clothe her priests with salvation:

And her desaints shall shout aloud for joy.

17  There will I fmake the horn of David to bud:

I have ordained ga ||lamp for hmine anointed.

18  His enemies will I iclothe with shame:

But upon himself shall his crown flourish.

Psalm 133

*A Song of degrees †of David.

1  Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

For abrethren to dwell †together in unity!

2  It is like bthe precious ointment cupon the head,

That ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard:

That went down to the dskirts of his garments;

3  As the dew of eHermon, and as the dew that descended upon the fmountains of gZion:

For there the Lord hcommanded the blessing,

Even life for evermore.

Psalm 134

*A Song of degrees.

1  Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye aservants of the Lord,

Which bby night acstand in the house of the Lord.

2  dLift up your hands ||in ethe sanctuary,

And bless the Lord.

3  The Lord fthat made heaven and earth

gBless thee out of Zion.
