Psalms 129 - 131
Yahweh Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked
129A Song of Ascents.
“1Many times they have 2,aassailed me from my byouth up,”cLet Israel now say,2“1Many times they have 2assailed me from my youth up;Yet they have anot prevailed against me.3“The plowers plowed upon my back;They lengthened their furrows.”4Yahweh ais righteous;He has cut up the bcords of the wicked.5Let all who ahate ZionBe bput to shame and turned backward;6Let them be like agrass upon the rooftops,Which dries up before it 1grows up;7With which the reaper does not fill his 1hand,Nor the binder of sheaves the afold of his garment;8And those who pass by will not say,“The ablessing of Yahweh be upon you;We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”Yahweh Will Redeem Israel
130A Song of Ascents.
Out of the adepths I called to You, O Yahweh.2O Lord, ahear my voice!Let bYour ears be attentiveTo the cvoice of my supplications.3If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,O Lord, who could astand?4But with You there is aforgiveness,That You may be bfeared.5I hope for Yahweh, my asoul does hope,And bfor His word do I wait.6My soul waits for the LordMore than the watchmen afor the morning,The watchmen for the morning.7O Israel, await for Yahweh;For with Yahweh there is blovingkindness,And with Him is cabundant redemption.8And it is He who will aredeem IsraelFrom all his iniquities.I Have Quieted My Soul
131A Song of Ascents. Of David.
O Yahweh, my heart is not aexalted, and my eyes are not braised high;And I do not 1involve myself in cgreat matters,Or in matters dtoo marvelous for me.2Surely I have asoothed and quieted my soul,Like a weaned bchild with his mother,Like a weaned child is my soul 1within me.3O Israel, await for YahwehbFrom now until forever.
