130 ⁽⁰⁾ A song of ascents. By David:

⁽¹⁾ Adonai, I call to you from the depths;
² hear my cry, Adonai!
Let your ears pay attention
to the sound of my pleading.

³ Yah, if you kept a record of sins,
who, Adonai, could stand?
⁴ But with you there is forgiveness,
so that you will be feared.

⁵ I wait longingly for Adonai;
I put my hope in his word.
⁶ Everything in me waits for Adonai
more than guards on watch wait for morning,
more than guards on watch wait for morning.

⁷ Isra’el, put your hope in Adonai!
For grace is found with Adonai,
and with him is unlimited redemption.
⁸ He will redeem Isra’el
from all their wrongdoings.

131 ⁽⁰⁾ A song of ascents. By David:

⁽¹⁾ Adonai, my heart isn’t proud;
I don’t set my sight too high,
I don’t take part in great affairs
or in wonders far beyond me.
² No, I keep myself calm and quiet,
like a little child on its mother’s lap —
I keep myself like a little child.

³ Isra’el, put your hope in Adonai
from now on and forever!
132 ⁽⁰⁾ A song of ascents:

⁽¹⁾ Adonai, remember in David’s favor
all the hardships he endured,
² how he swore to Adonai,
vowed to the Mighty One of Ya‘akov,

³ “I will not enter the house where I live
or get into my bed,
⁴ I will not allow myself to sleep
or even close my eyes,
⁵ until I find a place for Adonai,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Ya‘akov.”

⁶ We heard about it in Efrat,
we found it in the Fields of Ya‘ar.
⁷ Let’s go into his dwelling
and prostrate ourselves at his footstool.

⁸ Go up, Adonai, to your resting-place,
you and the ark through which you give strength.
⁹ May your cohanim be clothed with righteousness;
may those loyal to you shout for joy.
¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

¹¹ Adonai swore an oath to David,
an oath he will not break:
“One of the sons from your own body
I will set on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep my covenant
and my instruction, which I will teach them,
then their descendants too, forever,
will sit on your throne.”

¹³ For Adonai has chosen Tziyon,
he has wanted it as his home.
¹⁴ “This is my resting-place forever,
I will live here because I so much want to.
¹⁵ I will bless it with plenty of meat,
I will give its poor their fill of food.
¹⁶ Its cohanim I will clothe with salvation,
and its faithful will shout for joy.
¹⁷ I will make a king sprout there from David’s line
and prepare a lamp for my anointed one.
¹⁸ His enemies I will clothe with shame,
but on him there will be a shining crown.”
