Psalms 123

• 1. I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.
• 2. We look to the LORD our God for his mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.
• 3. Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt.
• 4. We have had our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.

Psalms 124

• 1. If the LORD had not been on our side--let Israel now say--
• 2. if the LORD had not been on our side when people rose up against us,
• 3. they would have swallowed us alive because of their burning anger against us.
• 4. The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
• 5. Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.
• 6. Blessed be the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
• 7. We escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap. The trap is broken, and we are free!
• 8. Our help is from the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth.

Psalms 125

• 1. Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
• 2. Just as the mountains surround and protect Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds and protects his people, both now and forever.
• 3. The wicked will not rule the godly, for then the godly might be forced to do wrong.
• 4. O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
• 5. But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil. And let Israel have quietness and peace.
