Psalm 85

¹Lord, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

²You forgave the iniquity of your people; you pardoned all their sin. Selah

³You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger.

⁴Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us.

⁵Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

⁶Will you not revive us again, so that your people may rejoice in you?

⁷Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.

⁸Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.

⁹Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.

¹¹Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.

¹²The Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

¹³Righteousness will go before him, and will make a path for his steps.

Psalm 87

¹On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

²the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah

⁴Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; Philistia too, and Tyre, with Ethiopia—“This one was born there,” they say.

⁵And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in it”; for the Most High himself will establish it.

⁶The Lord records, as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah

⁷Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”

Psalm 110

¹The Lord says to my lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”

²The Lord sends out from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your foes.

³Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day you lead your forces on the holy mountains. From the womb of the morning, like dew, your youth will come to you.

⁴The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

⁶He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter heads over the wide earth.

⁷He will drink from the stream by the path; therefore he will lift up his head.

Psalm 132

¹O Lord, remember in David’s favor all the hardships he endured;

²how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

³“I will not enter my house or get into my bed;

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶We heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool.”

⁸Rise up, O Lord, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.

⁹Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your faithful shout for joy.

¹⁰For your servant David’s sake do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

¹¹The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I shall teach them, their sons also, forevermore, shall sit on your throne.”

¹³For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation:

¹⁴“This is my resting place forever; here I will reside, for I have desired it.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless its provisions; I will satisfy its poor with bread.

¹⁶Its priests I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.

¹⁷There I will cause a horn to sprout up for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.

¹⁸His enemies I will clothe with disgrace, but on him, his crown will gleam.”
