Psalm 120:1-7

A Song of ¹Ascents.

^aIn my distress I called to Yahweh,

And He answered me.

O Yahweh, deliver my soul from a ^alying lip,

From a ^bdeceitful tongue.

What shall He give to you, and what shall He add to you,

O ^adeceitful tongue?

^aSharp arrows of the warrior,

With the burning ^bcoals of the broom tree.

Woe is me, for I sojourn in ^aMeshech,

For I dwell among the ^btents of ^cKedar!

Too long has my soul had its dwelling

With those who ^ahate peace.

I ^aam for peace, but when I speak,

They are ^bfor war.

Psalm 130:1-8

A Song of Ascents.

Out of the ^adepths I called to You, O Yahweh.

O Lord, ^ahear my voice!

Let ^bYour ears be attentive

To the ^cvoice of my supplications.

If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,

O Lord, who could ^astand?

But with You there is ^aforgiveness,

That You may be ^bfeared.

I hope for Yahweh, my ^asoul does hope,

And ^bfor His word do I wait.

My soul waits for the Lord

More than the watchmen ^afor the morning,

The watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, ^await for Yahweh;

For with Yahweh there is ^blovingkindness,

And with Him is ^cabundant redemption.

And it is He who will ^aredeem Israel

From all his iniquities.
