Psalms 120-127
Skip Heitzig
| Psalms 120 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, And He heard me. |
| 2 | Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips And from a deceitful tongue. |
| 3 | What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, You false tongue? |
| 4 | Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree! |
| 5 | Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6 | My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace. |
| 7 | I am for peace; But when I speak, they are for war. |
| Psalms 121 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills--From whence comes my help? |
| 2 | My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. |
| 3 | He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. |
| 4 | Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. |
| 5 | The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. |
| 6 | The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. |
| 7 | The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. |
| 8 | The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore. |
| Psalms 122 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD." |
| 2 | Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! |
| 3 | Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, |
| 4 | Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
| 5 | For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. |
| 6 | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. |
| 7 | Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." |
| 8 | For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you." |
| 9 | Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good. |
| Psalms 123 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. |
| 2 | Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look 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 exceedingly filled with contempt. |
| 4 | Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud. |
| Psalms 124 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say-- |
| 2 | "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us, |
| 3 | Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; |
| 4 | Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul; |
| 5 | Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul." |
| 6 | Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth. |
| 7 | Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped. |
| 8 | Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. |
| Psalms 125 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. |
| 2 | As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. |
| 3 | For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. |
| 4 | Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts. |
| 5 | As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel! |
| Psalms 126 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. |
| 2 | Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." |
| 3 | The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad. |
| 4 | Bring back our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South. |
| 5 | Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. |
| 6 | He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him. |
| Psalms 127 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. |
| 2 | It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. |
| 3 | Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. |
| 4 | Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. |
| 5 | Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate. |
