PSALM 123

A song of ascents. 

1 

I lift up my eyes to you,
    to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

2 

As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
    till he shows us his mercy.

3 

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured no end of contempt.

4 

We have endured no end
    of ridicule from the arrogant,
    of contempt from the proud.

PSALM 122

 A song of ascents. Of David. 

1 

I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’

2 

Our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem.

3 

Jerusalem is built like a city
    that is closely compacted together.

4 

That is where the tribes go up –
    the tribes of the Lord –
to praise the name of the Lord
    according to the statute given to Israel.

5 

There stand the thrones for judgment,
    the thrones of the house of David.

6 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    ‘May those who love you be secure.

7 

May there be peace within your walls
    and security within your citadels.’

8 

For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’

9 

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.

PSALM 121

                                              A song of ascents.

1 

I lift up my eyes to the mountains –
    where does my help come from?

2 

My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 

He will not let your foot slip –
    he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 

indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 

The Lord watches over you –
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

6 

the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

7 

The Lord will keep you from all harm –
    he will watch over your life;

8 

the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and for evermore.
