Psalm 122

Song of ascent.

1 Unto thee do I lift up my eyes, O Thou who dwellest in heaven!

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants are turned to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a servant are to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are to the Lord our God, until he has mercy on us.

3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we are filled enough with contempt;

4 Our soul is sufficiently filled with reproach from the haughty, and humiliation from the proud.

Psalm 123

Song of ascent. David.

1 If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel say,

2 If the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 Alive they would have swallowed us up, when their wrath was kindled against us.

4 The waters would have drowned us, the stream would have passed over our souls;

5 Stormy waters would pass over our souls.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth!

7 Our soul is delivered like a bird from the snare of those who catch: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who created the heavens and the earth.

Псалом 124

Песнь восхождения.

1 Надеющийся на Господа, как гора Сион, не подвигнется: пребывает вовек.

2 Горы окрест Иерусалима, а Господь окрест народа Своего отныне и вовек.

3 Ибо не оставит [Господь] жезла нечестивых над жребием праведных, дабы праведные не простерли рук своих к беззаконию.

4 Благотвори, Господи, добрым и правым в сердцах своих;

5 а совращающихся на кривые пути свои да оставит Господь ходить с делающими беззаконие. Мир на Израиля!

Псалом 125

Песнь восхождения.

1 Когда возвращал Господь плен Сиона, мы были как бы видящие во сне:

2 тогда уста наши были полны веселья, и язык наш – пения; тогда между народами говорили: «великое сотворил Господь над ними!»

3 Великое сотворил Господь над нами: мы радовались.
