130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I
hope.

morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption.
130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
131:1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I
exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is
weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
132:1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of
Jacob;
132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go
up into my bed;
132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the
mighty God of Jacob.
132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the
wood.
132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his
footstool.
132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy
saints shout for joy.
132:10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine
anointed.
132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from
it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I
shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for
evermore.
132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his
habitation.

with bread.
132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints
shall shout aloud for joy.
132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a
lamp for mine anointed.

133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity!
133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down
upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of
his garments;
133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the
mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even
life for evermore.

night stand in the house of the LORD.

house of our God.

name; for it is pleasant.

peculiar treasure.
135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above
all gods.

treasuries.

upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the
kingdoms of Canaan:
135:12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel
his people.
135:13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD,
throughout all generations.
135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself
concerning his servants.
135:15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s
hands.
135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they
see not;
135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath
in their mouths.
135:18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that
trusteth in them.

Aaron:

the LORD.

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when
we remembered Zion.
137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a
song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us
one of the songs of Zion.
137:4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?
137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her
cunning.
137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he
be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones
against the stones.
138:1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I
sing praise unto thee.
138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for
thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word
above all thy name.
138:3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst
me with strength in my soul.
138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they
hear the words of thy mouth.
138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the
glory of the LORD.
138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but
the proud he knoweth afar off.
138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou
shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and
thy right hand shall save me.
138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O
LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
139:1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou
understandest my thought afar off.
139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted
with all my ways.
139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou
knowest it altogether.
139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon
me.
139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot
attain unto it.
139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from
thy presence?
139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in
hell, behold, thou art there.
139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea;
139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall
hold me.
139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night
shall be light about me.
139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth
as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my
mother’s womb.
139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret,
and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in
thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were
fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is
the sum of them!
139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
when I awake, I am still with thee.
139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me
therefore, ye bloody men.
139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take
thy name in vain.
139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I
grieved with those that rise up against thee?
139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my
thoughts:
139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the
way everlasting.
140:1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the
violent man;
140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they
gathered together for war.
140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison
is under their lips. Selah.
140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from
the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a
net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
