Psalms 128-130
Chapter 128
Blessedness of the Fear of the LORD.
1 (C1)Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
Who (C2)walks in His ways.
2 When you (C1)eat the (C2)fruit of the labor of your hands,
You will be happy and (C3)it will go well for you.
3 Your wife will be like a (C1)fruitful vine
(F1)Within your house,
Your children like (C2)olive plants
Around your table.
4 Behold, for so shall a man
Who fears the LORD be blessed.
5 (C1)The LORD bless you (C2)from Zion,
And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Indeed, may you see your (C1)children's children.
(C2)Peace be upon Israel!
Chapter 129
Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion's Enemies.
1 "(F1)Many times they have (C1)attacked me from my (C2)youth up,"
(C3)Let Israel say,
2 "(F1)Many times they have attacked me from my youth up;
Yet they have (C1)not prevailed against me.
3 "The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows."
4 The LORD (C1)is righteous;
He has cut up the (C2)ropes of the wicked.
5 May all who (C1)hate Zion
Be (C2)put to shame and turned backward;
6 May they be like (C1)grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it (F1)grows up;
7 With which the harvester does not fill his (F1)hand,
Or the binder of sheaves his (F2)(C1)arms;
8 Nor do those who pass by say,
"The (C1)blessing of the LORD be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the LORD."
Chapter 130
Hope in the LORD'S Forgiving Love.
1 Out of the (C1)depths I have cried to You, LORD.
2 Lord, (C1)hear my voice!
Let (C2)Your ears be attentive
To the (C3)sound of my pleadings.
3 If You, (F1)LORD, were to keep account of guilty deeds,
Lord, who could (C1)stand?
4 But there is (C1)forgiveness with You,
So that You may be (F1)(C2)revered.
5 I wait for the LORD, my (C1)soul waits,
And I (F1)wait (C2)for His word.
6 My soul waits in hope for the Lord
More than the watchmen (C1)for the morning;
Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, (C1)wait for the LORD;
For with the LORD there is (C2)mercy,
And with Him is (C3)abundant redemption.
8 And He will (C1)redeem Israel
From all his guilty deeds.
