Psalms 78-150 - Geneva Bible

1 A song of degrees. They have often times afflicted me from my youth (may
Israel now say)
2
They have often times afflicted me from my youth: but they could not prevail
against me.
3
The plowers plowed upon my back, and made long furrows.
4
But the righteous Lord hath cut the cords of the wicked.
5
They that hate Zion, shall be all ashamed and turned backward.
6
They shall be as the grass on the house tops, which withereth afore it cometh
forth.
7
Whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither the gleaner his lap:
8
Neither they, which go by, say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you, or, We
bless you in the Name of the Lord.
Psalm 130
1 A song of degrees. Out of the deep places have I called unto thee, O Lord.
2
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears attend to the voice of my prayers.
3
If thou, O Lord, straightly markest iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4
But mercy is with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5
I have waited on the Lord: my soul hath waited, and I have trusted in his word.
6
My soul waiteth on the Lord more than the morning watch watcheth for the
morning.
7
Let Israel wait on the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is great
redemption.
8
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalm 131
