Psalms 126-134
Psalms 126
1 When the Lord brought back [a] the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. 365N 158.1
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the [b] nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” 365N 158.2
3 The Lord has done great things for us, And we are glad. 365N 158.3
4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord , As the streams in the South. 365N 158.4
5 Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. 365N 158.5
6 He who continually goes [c] forth weeping, Bearing [d] seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again [e] with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him. 365N 158.6
Psalms 127
1 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. 365N 158.7
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. 365N 158.8
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord , The fruit of the womb is a reward. 365N 158.9
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. 365N 158.10
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate. 365N 158.11
Psalms 128
1 Blessed is every one who fears the Lord , Who walks in His ways. 365N 158.12
2 When you eat the [a] labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. 365N 158.13
3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table. 365N 158.14
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord . 365N 158.15
5 The Lord bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. 365N 158.16
6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel! 365N 158.17
Psalms 129
1 “Many a time they have afflicted [a] me from my youth,” Let Israel now say— 365N 158.18
2 “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me. 365N 158.19
3 The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.” 365N 158.20
4 The Lord is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. 365N 158.21
5 Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back. 365N 158.22
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up, 365N 158.23
7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his [b] arms. 365N 158.24
8 Neither let those who pass by them say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; We bless you in the name of the Lord !” 365N 158.25
Psalms 130
1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord ; 365N 158.26
2 Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. 365N 158.27
3 If You, Lord , should [a] mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 365N 158.28
4 But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. 365N 158.29
5 I wait for the Lord , my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. 365N 158.30
6 My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning— Yes, more than those who watch for the morning. 365N 158.31
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord ; For with the Lord there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption. 365N 158.32
8 And He shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities. 365N 158.33
Psalms 131
1 Lord , my heart is not [a] haughty, Nor my eyes [b] lofty. Neither do I [c] concern myself with great matters, Nor with things too [d] profound for me. 365N 158.34
2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me. 365N 158.35
3 O Israel, hope in the Lord From this time forth and forever. 365N 158.36
Psalms 132

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, 365N 158.40
5 Until I find a place for the Lord , A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” 365N 158.41
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of [a] the woods. 365N 158.42

12 If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.” 365N 158.48
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His [d] dwelling place: 365N 158.49
