Those who love you will prosper. 122:007 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. 122:008 For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you." 122:009 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good. 123:001 <<A Song of Ascents.>> To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens. 123:002 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. 123:003 Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt. 123:004 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud. 124:001 <<A Song of Ascents. By David.>> If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say, 124:002 if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us; 124:003 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; 124:004 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; 124:005 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. 124:006 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 124:007 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. 124:008 Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. 125:001 <<A Song of Ascents.>> Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can't be moved, but remains forever. 125:002 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore. 125:003 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. 125:004 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts. 125:005 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel. 126:001 <<A Song of Ascents.>> When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream. 126:002 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "Yahweh has done great things for them." 126:003 Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad. 126:004 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev. 126:005 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 126:006 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves. 127:001 <<A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.>> Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.
