Psalms 123-125
Chapter 123
Prayer for the LORD'S Help.
1 To You I have (C1)raised my eyes,
You who (C2)are enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of (C1)servants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a female servant to the hand of her mistress,
So our (C2)eyes look to the LORD our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
3 (C1)Be gracious to us, LORD, be gracious to us,
For we have had much more than enough of (C2)contempt.
4 Our soul has had much more than enough
Of the (C1)scoffing of (C2)those who are at ease,
And of the (C3)contempt of the proud.
Chapter 124
Praise for Rescue from Enemies.
1 "(C1)Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,"
(C2)Let Israel say,
2 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side
When people rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (C1)swallowed us alive,
When their (C2)anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the (C1)waters would have flooded over us,
The stream would have (F1)swept over our souls;
5 Then the (C1)raging waters would have (F1)swept over our souls."
6 Blessed be the LORD,
Who has not given us (F1)to be (C1)torn by their teeth.
7 Our souls have (C1)escaped (C2)like a bird from the trapper's (C3)snare;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our (C1)help is in the name of the LORD,
Who (C2)made heaven and earth.
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.
