Jude Fri Dec 14, 2018 10:25 pm

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

PSALM 121

1I lift up my eyes to the hills; Where does my help come from?

2My help comes from יהוה, Maker of the heavens and earth.

3He does not allow your foot to be moved; He who watches over you does not slumber.

4See, He who is guarding Yisra’ĕl Neither slumbers nor sleeps.

5יהוה is your guard; יהוה is your shade at your right hand.

6The sun does not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.

7יהוה guards you from all evil; He guards your being.

8יהוה guards your going out and your coming in Now and forever.

PSALM 123

1I shall lift up my eyes Unto You who dwell in the heavens.

2See, as the eyes of servants Are toward the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a female servant Are toward the hand of her mistress, So are our eyes toward יהוה our Elohim, Until He shows favour to us.

3Show favour to us, O יהוה, show favour to us! For we are exceedingly filled with mockery.

4Our being is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, With the mockery of the proud.

PSALM 124

1“If it had not been יהוה who was on our side,” Let Yisra’ĕl now say;

2“If it had not been יהוה who was on our side, When men rose up against us,

3“Then they would have swallowed us alive, In their burning rage against us;

4“Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our being;

5“Then the proud waters Would have gone over our being.”

6Blessed be יהוה, Who did not give us as prey to their teeth.

7Our being has escaped like a bird From the snare of the trappers; The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

8Our help is in the Name of יהוה, Maker of the heavens and earth.

PSALM 125

1Those who trust in יהוה Are like Mount Tsiyon – It is not shaken, it remains forever.

2As the mountains surround Yerushalayim, So יהוה surrounds His people, Now and forever.

3For the sceptre of wrongness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous stretch forth their hands to unrighteousness.

4Do good, O יהוה, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts.

5But those who turn aside to their crooked ways, יהוה shall lead them away With the workers of wickedness. Peace be upon Yisra’ĕl!

PSALM 128

1Blessed are all who fear יהוה, Who walk in His ways.

2You shall eat the labour of your hands. Be blessed, and let it be well with you.

3Let your wife be As a fruit-bearing vine within your house, Your sons like olive plants all around your table.

4Look, so shall the man be blessed Who fears יהוה.

5יהוה shall bless you out of Tsiyon, And let you see the good of Yerushalayim All the days of your life,

6And let you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Yisra’ĕl!

PSALM 129

1“Often they have distressed me from my youth.” Let Yisra’ĕl now say,

2“Often they have distressed me from my youth, But they have not overcome me.

3“The ploughers ploughed on my back, They made their furrows long.”

4יהוה is righteous, He has cut the cords of the wrong in two.

5Let all those who hate Tsiyon Be put to shame and turned back.

6Let them be as the grass on the house-tops, Which withers before it grows up,

7That shall not fill the reaper’s hand, Nor the sheaves fill the binder’s bosom.

8And those who pass by shall not say, “The blessing of יהוה be upon you; We have blessed you in the Name of יהוה!”

PSALM 130

1Out of the depths I have cried to You, O יהוה.

2O יהוה, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my prayers.

3O Yah, if You should watch crookednesses, O יהוה, who would stand?

4But with You there is forgiveness, That You might be feared.

5I looked to יהוה, My being has looked, And for His word I have waited.

6My being looks to יהוה More than those watching for morning, watching for morning.

7O Yisra’ĕl, wait for יהוה; For with יהוה there is kindness. And with Him is much redemption,

8For He shall redeem Yisra’ĕl From all his crookednesses.
