Chapter 123

¹  <<A Song of degrees.>> Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
²  Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
³  Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
⁴  Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Chapter 124

¹  <<A Song of degrees of David.>> If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
²  If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
³  Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
⁴  Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
⁵  Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
⁶  Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
⁷  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
⁸  Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Chapter 125

¹  <<A Song of degrees.>> They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
²  As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
³  For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
⁴  Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
⁵  As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
