PSALM 126

 A song of ascents.

1 

When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed.

2 

Our mouths were filled with laughter,
    our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
    ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’

3 

The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are filled with joy.

4 

Restore our fortunes, Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.

5 

Those who sow with tears
    will reap with songs of joy.

6 

Those who go out weeping,
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.

Psalm 125

 A song of ascents. 

1 

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    which cannot be shaken but endures for ever.

2 

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people
    both now and for evermore.

3 

The sceptre of the wicked will not remain
    over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.

4 

Lord, do good to those who are good,
    to those who are upright in heart.

5 

But those who turn to crooked ways
    the Lord will banish with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 

If the Lord had not been on our side –
    let Israel say –

2 

if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,

3 

they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;

4 

the flood would have engulfed us,
    the torrent would have swept over us,

5 

the raging waters
    would have swept us away.

6 

Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

7 

We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
    and we have escaped.

8 

Our help is in the name of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

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.
