Psalm 129 - 131

« Psalm 128 | Psalms 129-131 | Psalm 132 »

Yahweh Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked

A Song of Ascents.

“Many times they have assailed me from my youth up,”

Let Israel now say,

“Many times they have assailed me from my youth up;

Yet they have not prevailed against me.

The plowers plowed upon my back;

They lengthened their furrows.”

Yahweh is righteous;

He has cut up the cords of the wicked.

Let all who hate Zion

Be put to shame and turned backward;

Let them be like grass upon the rooftops,

Which dries up before it grows up;

With which the reaper does not fill his hand,

Nor the binder of sheaves the fold of his garment;

And those who pass by will not say,

“The blessing of Yahweh be upon you;

We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”

Yahweh Will Redeem Israel

A Song of Ascents.

Out of the depths I called to You, O Yahweh.

O Lord, hear my voice!

Let Your ears be attentive

To the voice of my supplications.

If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,

O Lord, who could stand?

But with You there is forgiveness,

That You may be feared.

I hope for Yahweh, my soul does hope,

And for His word do I wait.

My soul waits for the Lord

More than the watchmen for the morning,

The watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, wait for Yahweh;

For with Yahweh there is lovingkindness,

And with Him is abundant redemption.

And it is He who will redeem Israel

From all his iniquities.

I Have Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

O Yahweh, my heart is not exalted, and my eyes are not raised high;

And I do not involve myself in great matters,

Or in matters too marvelous for me.

Surely I have soothed and quieted my soul,

Like a weaned child with his mother,

Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

O Israel, wait for Yahweh

From now until forever.
