Psalm 129

¹Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
²Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
³The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
⁴The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
⁵Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
⁶Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
⁷Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
⁸Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.

Psalm 130

¹Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.
²Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
³If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
⁴But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
⁵I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
⁶My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
⁷Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
⁸And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Psalm 131

¹Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
²Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
³Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.
