19:123:004 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the
scorning of those that
are
at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
19:124:001 If it had not been the lord who was
on our side, now may
Israel
say;
19:124:002 If it had not been the lord who was
on our side, when men rose
up
against us:
19:124:003 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when
their wrath was
kindled
against us:
19:124:004 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the
stream had gone over
our
soul:
19:124:005 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
19:124:006 Blessed be the lord, who hath not
given us as a prey to their
teeth.
19:124:007 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers:
the
snare is broken, and we are escaped.
19:124:008 Our help is in the name of the lord,
who made heaven and
earth.
19:125:001 They that trust in the lord shall
be as mount Zion, which
cannot
be removed, but abideth for ever.
19:125:002 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
so the lord is
round
about his people from henceforth even for ever.
19:125:003 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest
upon the lot of the
righteous;
lest the righteous put forth their hands unto
iniquity.
19:125:004 Do good, O lord, unto those that be
good, and to them that are
upright
in their hearts.
19:125:005 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked
ways, the lord
shall
lead them forth with the workers of iniquity:
but peace
shall
be upon Israel.
19:126:001 When the lord turned again the captivity
of Zion, we were like
them
that dream.
19:126:002 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
and our tongue with
singing:
then said they among the heathen, The lord hath
done
great
things for them.
19:126:003 The lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
19:126:004 Turn again our captivity, O lord, as the streams in the south.
19:126:005 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
19:126:006 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing
precious seed, shall
doubtless
come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with
him.
19:127:001 Except the lord build the house, they
labour in vain that
build
it: except the lord keep the city, the watchman
waketh
but
in vain.
19:127:002 It is vain for you to rise up early, to
sit up late, to eat
the
bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved
sleep.
19:127:003 Lo, children are an heritage of the lord:
and the fruit of the
womb
is his reward.
