Psalms 125-127
Chapter 125
The LORD Surrounds His People.
1 Those who trust in the LORD
Are like Mount Zion, which (C1)cannot be moved but (C2)remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So (C1)the LORD surrounds His people
(C2)From this time and forever.
3 For the (C1)scepter of wickedness will not rest upon the (F1)land of the righteous,
So that the righteous (C2)will not extend their hands to do wrong.
4 (C1)Do good, LORD, to those who are good
And to those who are (C2)upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who (C1)turn aside to their (C2)crooked ways,
The LORD will lead them away with those who (C3)practice injustice.
(C4)Peace be upon Israel.
Chapter 126
Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity.
1 When the LORD (C1)brought back (F1)the captives of Zion,
We were (C2)like those who dream.
2 Then our (C1)mouth was filled with laughter
And our (C2)tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
"The LORD has (C3)done great things for them."
3 The LORD has done great things for us;
We are (C1)joyful.
4 Restore our fortunes, LORD,
As the (F1)(C1)streams in the (F2)South.
5 Those who sow in (C1)tears shall harvest with (C2)joyful shouting.
6 One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Chapter 127
Prosperity Comes from the LORD.
1 Unless the LORD (C1)builds a house,
They who build it labor in vain;
Unless the LORD (C2)guards a city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is futile for you to rise up early,
To (F1)stay up late,
To (C1)eat the bread of painful labor;
This is how He gives to His (C2)beloved (C3)sleep.
3 Behold, (C1)children are a (F1)gift of the LORD,
The (C2)fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a (C1)warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.
5 (C1)Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
(C2)They will not be ashamed
When they (C3)speak with their enemies (C4)in the gate.
