My Help Comes from Yahweh
A Song of Ascents.
To You I Lift Up My Eyes
A Song of Ascents.
123 To You I (A)lift up my eyes,
The One (B)enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of (C)slaves look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a servant-girl to the hand of her mistress,
So our (D)eyes look to Yahweh our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
3 (E)Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly saturated (F)with contempt.
4 Our soul is greatly saturated
With the (G)mockery of (H)those who are at ease,
And with the (I)contempt of the proud.
Yahweh Was on Our Side
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
124 “(J)Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side,”
(K)Let Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (L)swallowed us alive,
When their (M)anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the (N)waters would have flowed over us,
The stream would have [a]swept over our soul;
5 Then the (O)raging waters would have [b]swept over our soul.”
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
Who has not given us to be (P)prey for their teeth.
7 Our soul has (Q)escaped (R)as a bird out of the (S)snare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our (T)help is in the name of Yahweh,
Who (U)made heaven and earth.
Yahweh Surrounds His People
A Song of Ascents.
125 Those who trust in Yahweh
Are as Mount Zion, which (V)will not be shaken but (W)will abide forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So (X)Yahweh surrounds His people
(Y)From now until forever.
3 For the (Z)scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the [c]land of the righteous,
So that the righteous (AA)would not send forth their hands in unrighteousness.
Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears Yahweh
A Song of Ascents.
128 (A)How blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
Who (B)walks in His ways.
2 When you shall (C)eat of the [a](D)fruit of the labor of your hands,
How blessed will you be and (E)how well will it be for you.
3 Your wife shall be like a (F)fruitful vine
In the innermost parts of your house,
Your children like (G)olive plants
All around your table.
4 Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears Yahweh.
5 (H)May Yahweh bless you (I)from Zion,
That you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Indeed, may you see your (J)children’s children.
(K)Peace be upon Israel!
Yahweh Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked
A Song of Ascents.
129 “[b]Many times they have [c](L)assailed me from my (M)youth up,”
(N)Let Israel now say,
2 “[d]Many times they have [e]assailed me from my youth up;
Yet they have (O)not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows.”
4 Yahweh (P)is righteous;
He has cut up the (Q)cords of the wicked.
5 Let all who (R)hate Zion
Be (S)put to shame and turned backward;
6 Let them be like (T)grass upon the rooftops,
Which dries up before it [f]grows up;
7 With which the reaper does not fill his [g]hand,
Nor the binder of sheaves the (U)fold of his garment;
8 And those who pass by will not say,
“The (V)blessing of Yahweh be upon you;
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
Yahweh Will Redeem Israel
A Song of Ascents.
130 Out of the (W)depths I called to You, O Yahweh.
2 O Lord, (X)hear my voice!
Let (Y)Your ears be attentive
To the (Z)voice of my supplications.
3 If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,
O Lord, who could (AA)stand?
4 But with You there is (AB)forgiveness,
That You may be (AC)feared.
5 I hope for Yahweh, my (AD)soul does hope,
And (AE)for His word do I wait.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen (AF)for the morning,
The watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, (AG)wait for Yahweh;
For with Yahweh there is (AH)lovingkindness,
And with Him is (AI)abundant redemption.
8 And it is He who will (AJ)redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
