A Davidic song of ascents.I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper;

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorn of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,
the Lord will banish them with the evildoers.

Peace be with Israel.

A song of ascents.When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.

Then our mouth will be filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then shall they say among the nations, Jehovah magnified to do with those.

Those who sow in tears
will reap with shouts of joy.

A song of ascents, by Solomon. If the Lord does not build a house, then those who build it work in vain. If the Lord does not guard a city, then the watchman stands guard in vain.

It is vain for you to rise early, come home late, and work so hard for your food. Yes, he can provide for those whom he loves even when they sleep.

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh." A Song of Ascents.

My soul is for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

Those who stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God,

For the Lord will judge His people
And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].

Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.

O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion.

Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, 'Rase, rase to its foundation!'

Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

The Lord avenges me. O Lord, your loyal love endures. Do not abandon those whom you have made!

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?

those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.

Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the snares of those who do iniquity.

Listen to my cry,
for I am very weak.
Rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

Answer me quickly, Lord;
my spirit fails.
Don’t hide Your face from me,
or I will be like those
going down to the Pit.

and in Your faithful love destroy my enemies.
Wipe out all those who attack me,
for I am Your servant.

Then our sons will be like plants, that quickly grow to full size. Our daughters will be like corner pillars, carved like those in a palace.

The LORD upholds all that fall, and raises up all those that are bowed down.

Near is Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth.

He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry for help and saves them.

The Lord guards all those who love Him,
but He destroys all the wicked.

Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

May those he loves be exalted, singing for joy on their couches.
