²Lo, as eyes of men-servants Are unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant Are unto the hand of her mistress, So are our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.

³Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

⁴Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

Psalm 124

¹A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save for Jehovah—who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

²Save for Jehovah—who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

³Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

⁴Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

⁵Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

⁶Blessed is Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

⁷Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

⁸Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

Psalm 125

¹A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved—to the age it abideth.

²Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.

³For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.

⁴Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

⁵As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

Psalm 126
