129:1 Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare— 2 many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long. 4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked. 5 May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame. 6 May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow, 7 unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves. 8 May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

130:1 Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD! 2 O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy. 3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand? 4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared. 5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope. 6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning. 7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance. 8 And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.

131:1 My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me. 2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forevermore.
