Christian Standard Bible
Psalm 130
Awaiting Redemption
A song of ascents.
1 Out of the depths I call to you, Lord!(A)
2 Lord, listen to my voice;
let your ears be attentive
to my cry for help.(B)
3 Lord, if you kept an account of iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?(C)
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that you may be revered.(D)
5 I wait for the Lord; I wait
and put my hope in his word.(E)
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning—
more than watchmen for the morning.(F)
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord.(G)
For there is faithful love with the Lord,
and with him is redemption in abundance.(H)
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.(I)
Psalm 131
A Childlike Spirit
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.(J)
I do not get involved with things
too great or too wondrous for me.(K)
2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul
like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like a weaned child.(L)
3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
both now and forever.(M)
Psalm 132
David and Zion Chosen
A song of ascents.
1 Lord, remember David
and all the hardships he endured,(N)
2 and how he swore an oath to the Lord,
making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:(O)
3 “I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep
or my eyelids to slumber(P)
5 until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”(Q)
6 We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;[a](R)
we found it in the fields of Jaar.[b](S)
7 Let’s go to his dwelling place;
let’s worship at his footstool.(T)
8 Rise up, Lord, come to your resting place,
you and your powerful ark.(U)
9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness,
and may your faithful people shout for joy.(V)
10 For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.[c](W)
11 The Lord swore an oath to David,
a promise he will not abandon:
“I will set one of your offspring[d]
on your throne.(X)
12 If your sons keep my covenant
and my decrees that I will teach them,
their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”(Y)
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his home:(Z)
14 “This is my resting place forever;
I will make my home here
because I have desired it.(AA)
15 I will abundantly bless its food;
I will satisfy its needy with bread.(AB)
16 I will clothe its priests with salvation,
and its faithful people will shout for joy.(AC)
17 There I will make a horn grow for David;(AD)
I have prepared a lamp[e] for my anointed one.(AE)
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,(AF)
but the crown he wears[f] will be glorious.”(AG)
Psalm 133
Living in Harmony
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 How delightfully good
when brothers live together in harmony!(AH)
2 It is like fine oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down Aaron’s beard
onto his robes.(AI)
3 It is like the dew of Hermon[g]
falling on the mountains of Zion.(AJ)
For there the Lord has appointed the blessing—
life forevermore.(AK)
