Old/New Testament
129 “They have oftentimes afflicted me from my youth.” (may Israel now say)
2 “They have oftentimes afflicted me from my youth. But they could not prevail against me.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back and made long furrows.
4 “The righteous LORD has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 “Those who hate Zion shall be all ashamed and turned backward.
6 “They shall be as the grass on the housetops which withers before it comes forth.
7 “Of which the mower does not fill his hand, nor the gleaner his lap.
8 “Nor do those who pass by say, ‘The blessing of the LORD be upon you!’ or, ‘We bless you in the Name of the LORD!’” A song of degrees
130 Out of the deep places have I called to You, O LORD.
2 LORD, hear my voice. Let Your ears attend to the voice of my prayers.
3 If You, O LORD, straightly mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand?
4 But mercy is with You, so that You may be feared.
5 I have waited on the LORD. My soul has waited; and I have trusted in His word.
6 My soul waits on the LORD more than the morning watch watches for the morning.
7 Let Israel wait on the LORD, for with the LORD is mercy and with Him is great redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of Solomon
131 LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor are my eyes lofty, nor have I proceeded in great matters and things hidden from me.
2 Surely, I have behaved like one weaned from his mother and kept silent. In myself, I am as one who is weaned.
3 Let Israel wait on the LORD from henceforth and forever. A song of degrees
11 Be followers of me, just as I am of Christ.
2 Now brothers, I praise you, that you remember all my things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3 But I would have you know that Christ is the head of every man. And the head of the woman, man. And the head of Christ, God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonors his head.
5 Every woman who prays or prophesies bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
6 Therefore, if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. And if it is shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9 For the man was not created for the woman’s sake, but the woman for the man’s sake.
10 Because of this ought the woman to have power upon her head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the man separate from the woman, nor the woman separate from the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is from the man, so is the man also by the woman. But all things are from God.
13 Judge in yourselves, is it proper that a woman pray to God uncovered?
14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it dishonors him?
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her. For her hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
