I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come? |
| 2 |
My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. |
| 3 |
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. |
| 4 |
Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep. |
| 5 |
Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand. |
| 6 |
The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night. |
| 7 |
Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul. |
| 8 |
Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore. A Song of Ascents; of David. |
| 1 |
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say, |
| 2 |
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us; |
| 3 |
Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; |
| 4 |
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul; |
| 5 |
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
| 6 |
Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
| 7 |
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
| 8 |
Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. A Song of Ascents. |
| 1 |
They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. |
| 2 |
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore. |
| 3 |
For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity. |
| 4 |
Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts. |
| 5 |
But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel. A Song of Ascents. |
| 1 |
Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways. |
| 2 |
For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. |
| 3 |
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table. |
| 4 |
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah. |
| 5 |
Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. |
| 6 |
Yea, see thou thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel. A Song of Ascents. |
| 1 |
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say, |
| 2 |
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me. |
| 3 |
The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows. |
| 4 |
Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
| 5 |
Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion. |
| 6 |
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up; |
| 7 |
Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
| 8 |
Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah. A Song of Ascents. |
| 1 |
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah. |
| 2 |
Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. |
| 3 |
If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? |
| 4 |
But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared. |
| 5 |
I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope. |
| 6 |
My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning. |
| 7 |
O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption. |
| 8 |
And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities. A Song of Ascents; of David. |
