A Song of Ascents.
[130:1] Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh. [130:2] Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions. [130:3] If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? [130:4] But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared. [130:5] I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word. [130:6] My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning. [130:7] Israel, hope in Yahweh, for with Yahweh there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption. [130:8] He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
Psalm 131
A Song of Ascents. By David.
[131:1] Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me. [131:2] Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. [131:3] Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 132
A Song of Ascents.
[132:1] Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction, [132:2] how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: [132:3] "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed; [132:4] I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids; [132:5] until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob." [132:6] Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar: [132:7] "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool. [132:8] Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength. [132:9] Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!" [132:10] For your servant David's sake, don't turn away the face of your anointed one. [132:11] Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne. [132:12] If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore." [132:13] For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation. [132:14] "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it. [132:15] I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread. [132:16] Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy. [132:17] There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed. [132:18] I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent."
