Psalm 121 (ESV))

Psalm 121
A Song of Ascents.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills.
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
 
He will not allow your foot to be moved.
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
Yahweh is your keeper.
Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
Yahweh will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time forward, and forever more.

Psalm 122 sung according to the Scottish Psalter

Psalm 122 (ESV))

Psalm 122
A Song of Ascents. By David.
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”
Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!
Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,
where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes,
according to an ordinance for Israel,
to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.
For there are set thrones for judgment,
the thrones of David’s house.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Those who love you will prosper.
Peace be within your walls,
and prosperity within your palaces.
For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.

Psalm 123 sung according to the Scottish Psalter

Psalm 123 (ESV))

Psalm 123
A Song of Ascents.
I lift up my eyes to you,
you who sit in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God,
until he has mercy on us.
Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us,
for we have endured much contempt.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease,
with the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 124 sung according to the Scottish Psalter

Psalm 124 (ESV))

Psalm 124
A Song of Ascents. By David.
If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
let Israel now say,
if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
when men rose up against us,
then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us,
then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
the stream would have gone over our soul.
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
Blessed be Yahweh,
who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in Yahweh’s name,
who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 125 sung according to the Scottish Psalter

Psalm 125 (ESV))

Psalm 125
A Song of Ascents.
Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion,
which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous,
so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good,
to those who are upright in their hearts.
But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways,
Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be on Israel.
