Psalms 128-130
Chapter 128
Psalm 128
Blessings for Those Who Fear God
A song of ascents.
1 How happy is everyone who fears the
Lord
,
who walks in His ways!(a)
2 You will surely eat
what your hands have worked for.(b)
You will be happy,
and it will go well for you.(c)
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house,
your sons, like young olive trees
around your table.(d)
4 In this very way
the man who fears the
Lord
will be blessed.(e)
5 May the
Lord
bless you from Zion,
so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life(f)
6 and will see your children's children!
Peace be with Israel.(g)
Chapter 129
Psalm 129
Protection of the Oppressed
A song of ascents.
1 Since my youth they have often attacked me—
let Israel say—
2 Since my youth they have often attacked me,
but they have not prevailed against me.(a)
3 Plowmen plowed over my back;
they made their furrows long.(b)
4 The
Lord
is righteous;
He has cut the ropes of the wicked.(c)
5 Let all who hate Zion
be driven back in disgrace.(d)
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up[a](e)
7 and can't even fill the hands of the reaper
or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.(f)
8 Then none who pass by will say,
"May the
Lord
's blessing be on you."
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.(g)
Chapter 130
Psalm 130
Awaiting Redemption
A song of ascents.
1 Out of the depths I call to You, Yahweh!(a)
2 Lord, listen to my voice;
let Your ears be attentive
to my cry for help.(b)
3 Yahweh, if You considered sins,
Lord, who could stand?(c)
4 But with You there is forgiveness,
so that You may be revered.(d)
5 I wait for Yahweh; I wait
and put my hope in His word.(e)
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning—
more than watchmen for the morning.(f)
7 Israel, put your hope in the
Lord
.(g)
For there is faithful love with the
Lord
,
and with Him is redemption in abundance.(h)
8 And He will redeem Israel
from all its sins.(i)
