By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion. We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us [requested] mirth, [Saying], "Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion!" How shall we sing the LORD's song In a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [its skill]! If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth--If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze [it], raze [it], To its very foundation!" O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us! Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock! - Psa 137:1-9 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for [He is] good! For His mercy [endures] forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy [endures] forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy [endures] forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy [endures] forever; To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy [endures] forever; To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, For His mercy [endures] forever; To Him who made great lights, For His mercy [endures] forever-- The sun to rule by day, For His mercy [endures] forever; The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy [endures] forever. To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn, For His mercy [endures] forever; And brought out Israel from among them, For His mercy [endures] forever; With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, For His mercy [endures] forever; To Him who divided the Red Sea in two, For His mercy [endures] forever; And made Israel pass through the midst of it, For His mercy [endures] forever; But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, For His mercy [endures] forever; To Him who led His people through the wilderness, For His mercy [endures] forever; To Him who struck down great kings, For His mercy [endures] forever; And slew famous kings, For His mercy [endures] forever-- Sihon king of the Amorites, For His mercy [endures] forever; And Og king of Bashan, For His mercy [endures] forever-- And gave their land as a heritage, For His mercy [endures] forever; A heritage to Israel His servant, For His mercy [endures] forever. Who remembered us in our lowly state, For His mercy [endures] forever; And rescued us from our enemies, For His mercy [endures] forever; Who gives food to all flesh, For His mercy [endures] forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy [endures] forever. - Psa 136:1-26 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; Praise [Him], O you servants of the LORD! You who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God, Praise the LORD, for the LORD [is] good; Sing praises to His name, for [it is] pleasant. For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure. For I know that the LORD [is] great, And our Lord [is] above all gods. Whatever the LORD pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries. He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast. He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. He defeated many nations And slew mighty kings-- Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan-- And gave their land [as] a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people. Your name, O LORD, [endures] forever, Your fame, O LORD, throughout all generations. For the LORD will judge His people, And He will have compassion on His servants. The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, The work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there [any] breath in their mouths. Those who make them are like them; [So is] everyone who trusts in them. Bless the LORD, O house of Israel! Bless the LORD, O house of Aaron! Bless the LORD, O house of Levi! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD! Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD! - Psa 135:1-21 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Behold, bless the LORD, All [you] servants of the LORD, Who by night stand in the house of the LORD! Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, And bless the LORD. The LORD who made heaven and earth Bless you from Zion! - Psa 134:1-3 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] For brethren to dwell together in unity! [It is] like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. [It is] like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing--Life forevermore. - Psa 133:1-3 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember David [And] all his afflictions; How he swore to the LORD, [And] vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: "Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of my bed; I will not give sleep to my eyes [Or] slumber to my eyelids, Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods. Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool. Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy. For Your servant David's sake, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed. The LORD has sworn [in] truth to David; He will not turn from it: "I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore." For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired [it] for His dwelling place: "This [is] My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall flourish." - Psa 132:1-18 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, Nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, Nor with things too profound for me. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child [is] my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the LORD From this time forth and forever. - Psa 131:1-3 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But [there is] forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. My soul [waits] for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning--[Yes, more than] those who watch for the morning. O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD [there is] mercy, And with Him [is] abundant redemption. And He shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities. - Psa 130:1-8 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth," Let Israel now say-- "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me. The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long." The LORD [is] righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back. Let them be as the grass [on] the housetops, Which withers before it grows up, With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms. Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the LORD [be] upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD!" - Psa 129:1-8 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Blessed [is] every one who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, You [shall be] happy, and [it shall be] well with you. Your wife [shall be] like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the LORD. The LORD bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace [be] upon Israel! - Psa 128:1-6 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. [It is] vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; [For] so He gives His beloved sleep. Behold, children [are] a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb [is] a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So [are] the children of one's youth. Happy [is] the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate. - Psa 127:1-5 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." The LORD has done great things for us, [And] we are glad. Bring back our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South. Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves [with him]. - Psa 126:1-6 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD [Are] like Mount Zion, [Which] cannot be moved, [but] abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity. Do good, O LORD, to [those who are] good, And to [those who are] upright in their hearts. As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them away With the workers of iniquity. Peace [be] upon Israel! - Psa 125:1-5 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say-- "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us, Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul; Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul." Blessed [be] the LORD, Who has not given us [as] prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. - Psa 124:1-8 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes [look] to the LORD our God, Until He has mercy on us. Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud. - Psa 123:1-4 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD." Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD. For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace [be] within you." Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good. - Psa 122:1-9 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills--From whence comes my help? My help [comes] from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD [is] your keeper; The LORD [is] your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore. - Psa 121:1-8 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, And He heard me. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips [And] from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, You false tongue? Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree! Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, [That] I dwell among the tents of Kedar! My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace. I [am for] peace; But when I speak, they [are] for war. - Psa 120:1-7 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
TAU. Let my cry come before You, O LORD; Give me understanding according to Your word. Let my supplication come before You; Deliver me according to Your word. My lips shall utter praise, For You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your word, For all Your commandments [are] righteousness. Let Your hand become my help, For I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, O LORD, And Your law [is] my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; And let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments. - Psa 119:169-176 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
SHIN. Princes persecute me without a cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your word. I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure. I hate and abhor lying, [But] I love Your law. Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous judgments. Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble. LORD, I hope for Your salvation, And I do Your commandments. My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways [are] before You. - Psa 119:161-168 NKJV #Christian #Bible #grownostr #biblestr #ThroughTheBibleInOneYear
