Psalm 131 |
|---|---|
| 1 | My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. |
| 2 | But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. |
| 3 | O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore. |
|
|
Psalm 132 |
| 1 | O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured. |
| 2 | He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| 3 | 'I will not enter my house or go to my bed- |
| 4 | I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids, |
| 5 | till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.' |
| 6 | We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar: |
| 7 | 'Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool- |
| 8 | arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. |
| 9 | May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy.' |
| 10 | For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one. |
| 11 | The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: 'One of your own descendants I will place on your throne- |
| 12 | if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.' |
| 13 | For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling: |
| 14 | 'This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it- |
| 15 | I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food. |
| 16 | I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy. |
| 17 | 'Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one. |
| 18 | I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent.' |

Psalm 133 |
| 1 | How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! |
| 2 | It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. |
| 3 | It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. |

|
Psalm 134 |
| 1 | Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night in the house of the LORD. |
| 2 | Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD. |
| 3 | May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion. |
|
|
Psalm 135 |
| 1 | Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD, |
| 2 | you who minister in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. |
| 3 | Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant. |
| 4 | For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession. |
| 5 | I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods. |
| 6 | The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. |
| 7 | He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. |
| 8 | He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals. |
| 9 | He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants. |
| 10 | He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings- |
| 11 | Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan and all the kings of Canaan- |
| 12 | and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel. |
| 13 | Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations. |
| 14 | For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. |
| 15 | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. |
| 16 | They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; |
| 17 | they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths. |
| 18 | Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. |
| 19 | O house of Israel, praise the LORD; O house of Aaron, praise the LORD; |
| 20 | O house of Levi, praise the LORD; you who fear him, praise the LORD. |
| 21 | Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. |
