Psalms
125-127
Psa
125:1 Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can't be
moved, but remains forever.
Psa
125:2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his
people from this time forth and forevermore.
Psa
125:3 For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment
of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do
evil.
Psa
125:4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are
upright in their hearts.
Psa
125:5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh
will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
Psa
126:1 When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were
like those who dream.
Psa
126:2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with
singing. Then they said among the nations, "Yahweh has done
great things for them."
Psa
126:3 Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
Psa
126:4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the
Negev.
Psa
126:5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
Psa
126:6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will
certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
Psa
127:1 Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build
it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in
vain.
Psa
127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating
the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
Psa
127:3 Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the
womb is his reward.
Psa
127:4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of
youth.
Psa
127:5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't
be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
