Old/New Testament
123 I lift up my eyes to You Who dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God until He has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD! Have mercy on us; for we have suffered too much contempt.
4 Our soul is filled too full with the mocking of the wealthy and the contempt of the proud. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of David
124 If the LORD had not been on our side, (may Israel now say)
2 If the LORD had not been on our side when men rose up against us,
3 they would have swallowed us up quickly when their wrath was kindled against us.
4 Then, the waters had drowned us; the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then, the swelling waters had gone over our soul.
6 Praise the LORD, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth!
7 Our soul has escaped, even as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the Name of the LORD, Who has made Heaven and Earth. A song of degrees
125 Those who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed but remains forever.
2 As the mountains are around Jerusalem, so the LORD is around His people from henceforth and forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put forth their hand to wickedness.
4 Do well, O LORD, to those who are good and true in their hearts.
5 But those who turn aside by their crooked ways, they shall be led by the LORD with the workers of iniquity. Peace upon Israel! A song of degrees, or Psalm, of David
10 Moreover, brothers, I do not wish you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
2 and were all baptized unto Moses, in the cloud, and in the sea.
3 And all ate the same spiritual food.
4 And all drank the same spiritual drink (for they drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them. And the Rock was Christ.)
5 But with many of them God was not pleased. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things are our examples, to the intent that we should not also lust after evil things as they lusted,
7 nor be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8 Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication. And twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
9 Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him, and were destroyed by serpents.
10 Nor murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11 Now all these things came to them for examples, and were written to admonish us, upon whom the ends of the world have come.
12 Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall.
13 No trial has overtaken you except what is common to man. And God is faithful, Who will not allow you to be tried above that which you are able, but will also give you a means of escape with the trial, that you may be able to bear it.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 I speak as to those who have understanding. Judge what I say.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For we who are many, are one bread and one body, because we are all partakers of one bread.
18 Behold Israel according to the flesh. Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the Altar?
