 forth, and even for evermore.

122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us
 go into the house of the LORD.
122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony
 of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of
 David.
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:  they shall prosper that love thee.
122:7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be
 within thee.
122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

123:1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that
 dwellest in the heavens.
123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters,
 and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes
 wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us:  for we are
 exceedingly filled with contempt.
123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at
 ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on
 our side, now may Israel say;
124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up
 against us:
124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled
 against us:
124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their
 teeth.
124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:  the
 snare is broken, and we are escaped.
124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

 about his people from henceforth even for ever.
125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the
 righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are
 upright in their hearts.
125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead
 them forth with the workers of iniquity:  but peace shall be upon
 Israel.

126:1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,
 we were like them that dream.
126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: 
 then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
 doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they
 labour in vain that build it:  except the LORD keep the city, the watchman
 waketh but in vain.
127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the
 bread of sorrows:  for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:  and the fruit of the
 womb is his reward.
127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the
 youth.
127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:  they shall not
 be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

 thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

 Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth:  yet they have not
 prevailed against me.
129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back:  they made long their furrows.
129:4 The LORD is righteous:  he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore
 it groweth up:
129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves
 his bosom.
129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon
 you:  we bless you in the name of the LORD.

130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the
 morning:  I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

132:1 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of
 Jacob;
132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into
 my bed;
132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty
 God of Jacob.
132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah:  we found it in the fields of the
 wood.
132:7 We will go into his tabernacles:  we will worship at his footstool.
132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints
 shout for joy.
132:10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine
 anointed.
132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it;
 Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall
 teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his
 habitation.
132:14 This is my rest for ever:  here will I dwell; for I have desired
 it.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision:  I will satisfy her poor with
 bread.
132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation:  and her saints shall
 shout aloud for joy.
132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud:  I have ordained a lamp
 for mine anointed.
132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame:  but upon himself shall his
 crown flourish.

133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
 for brethren to dwell together in unity!
133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon
 the beard, even Aaron's beard:  that went down to the skirts of his
 garments;
133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the
 mountains of Zion:  for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life
 for evermore.

135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his
 peculiar treasure.
135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above
 all gods.
135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in
 the seas, and all deep places.
135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh
 lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
135:8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
135:9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon
 Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the
 kingdoms of Canaan:
135:12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his
 people.
135:13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD,
 throughout all generations.
135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself
 concerning his servants.
135:15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's
 hands.
135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see
 not;
135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in
 their mouths.
135:18 They that make them are like unto them:  so is every one that
 trusteth in them.

 ye the LORD.

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we
 remembered Zion.
137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and
 they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the
 songs of Zion.
137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my
 mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who
 said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.
137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be,

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
139:1 O LORD, thou hast searched
 me, and known me.
139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my
 thought afar off.
139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with
 all my ways.
139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou
 knowest it altogether.
139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot
 attain unto it.
139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit?  or whither shall I flee from thy
 presence?
139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:  if I make my bed in
 hell, behold, thou art there.
139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost
 parts of the sea;
139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be
 light about me.
139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the
 day:  the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins:  thou hast covered me in my
 mother's womb.
139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 
 marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
 curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book
 all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when
 as yet there was none of them.
139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!  how great is the
 sum of them!
139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: 
 when I awake, I am still with thee.
139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:  depart from me therefore,
 ye bloody men.
139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy
 name in vain.
139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee?  and am not I grieved
 with those that rise up against thee?
139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred:  I count them mine enemies.
139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart:  try me, and know my thoughts:
139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way
 everlasting.

140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the
 violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net
 by the wayside; they have set gins for me.  Selah.
140:6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God:  hear the voice of my
 supplications, O LORD.
140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my
 head in the day of battle.
140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked:  further not his wicked
 device; lest they exalt themselves.  Selah.
140:9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of
 their own lips cover them.
140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them:  let them be cast into the fire;
 into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth:  evil shall hunt
 the violent man to overthrow him.

141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works
 with men that work iniquity:  and let me not eat of their dainties.
141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness:  and let him
 reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my
 head:  for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my
 words; for they are sweet.
141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and
 cleaveth wood upon the earth.
141:8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord:  in thee is my trust;
 leave not my soul destitute.

Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.
142:1 I cried unto the
 LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.
142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. 
 In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that
 would know me:  refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD:  I said, Thou art my refuge and my
 portion in the land of the living.
142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low:  deliver me from my
 persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name:  the
 righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant:  for in thy sight shall
 no man living be justified.
143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to
 the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been
 long dead.
143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is
 desolate.
143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the
 work of thy hands.
143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee:  my soul thirsteth after thee,
 as a thirsty land.  Selah.
143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD:  my spirit faileth:  hide not thy face from
 me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I
 trust:  cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my
 soul unto thee.
143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies:  I flee unto thee to hide me.
143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God:  thy spirit is
 good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake:  for thy righteousness' sake
 bring my soul out of trouble.

 afflict my soul:  for I am thy servant.

 shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
144:3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him!  or the son
 of man, that thou makest account of him!
144:4 Man is like to vanity:  his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down:  touch the mountains, and they
 shall smoke.
144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them:  shoot out thine arrows, and

144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great
 waters, from the hand of strange children;

 his servant from the hurtful sword.
144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth

 daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a
