130.6 :O Israel, hope in the ;
 * For with the there is mercy,
 * And with Him is plenteous redemption.
 * And He will redeem Israel
 * From all his iniquities.

A Song of Ascents; of David.


 * , my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty;
 * Neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.
 * Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul;
 * Like a weaned child with his mother;
 * My soul is with me like a weaned child.


 * O Israel, hope in the
 * From this time forth and for ever.

A Song of Ascents.


 * , remember unto David
 * All his affliction;
 * How he swore unto the ,
 * And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
 * 'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house,
 * Nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;
 * I will not give sleep to mine eyes,
 * Nor slumber to mine eyelids;
 * Until I find out a place for the ,
 * A dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'


 * Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath;
 * We found it in the field of the wood.
 * Let us go into His dwelling-place;
 * Let us worship at His footstool.
 * Arise, O, unto Thy resting-place;
 * Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.
 * Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness;
 * And let Thy saints shout for joy.
 * For Thy servant David's sake
 * Turn not away the face of Thine anointed.


 * The swore unto David in truth;
 * He will not turn back from it:
 * 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
 * If thy children keep My covenant
 * And My testimony that I shall teach them,
 * Their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'
 * For the hath chosen Zion;
 * He hath desired it for His habitation:
 * 'This is My resting-place for ever;
 * Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
 * I will abundantly bless her provision;
 * I will give her needy bread in plenty.
 * Her priests also will I clothe with salvation;
 * And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
 * There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David,
 * There have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.
 * His enemies will I clothe with shame;
 * But upon himself shall his crown shine.'

A Song of Ascents; of David.


 * Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
 * For brethren to dwell together in unity!
