      1. I was glad when they said to me:

      “Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

      in your courts, O Jerusalem.

      3. Jerusalem has been built as a city,

      whose compactness is complete.

      4. For there the tribes go up,

      the tribes of the Lord as a witness

      for Israel,

      to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

      Psalm 122

      1. I have raised my eyes to you,

      2. Behold, as the eyes of servants

      are fixed on the hands of their masters,

      and as the eyes of a maidservant,

      even so our eyes are fixed on the Lord our God,

      until God display compassion

      towards us.

      3. Have mercy upon us, O Lord,

      have mercy upon us,

      4. Indeed, our life has been

      exceedingly filled;

      let reproach come upon the prosperous,

      and contempt fall upon the haughty.

      Psalm 123

      1. If the Lord had not been in our midst,

      let Israel say;

      2. if the Lord had not been in our midst,

      when people rose up against us,

      3. then would they have swallowed

      us up alive,

      when their anger blazed out against us,

      4. then the waters would have

      drowned us,

      and our life would have gone under the torrent.

      5. Indeed our soul would have sunk,

      beneath the overwhelming waters.

      6. Blessed be the Lord,

      who has not given us as prey

      to their teeth!

      7. Our life has escaped like a bird

      from the fowler’s snare,

      the snare was shattered,

      and we have escaped.

      8. Our help is in the name of the Lord,

      who made heaven and earth.

      whoever dwells in Jerusalem shall never be shaken.

      2. The mountains encompass her,

      and the Lord encompasses his people,

      from now and forever more.

      3. For the Lord will not permit,

      the rod of sinners,

      over the lot of the righteous,

      lest the righteous stretch forth

      their hands to iniquity.

      4. Do good, O Lord,

      to those who are good and upright

      in heart.

      5. But those who swerve into

      crooked paths,

      the Lord will drive away with the workers of iniquity.

      Peace be upon Israel!

      Psalm 125

      1. When the Lord returned the captives of Zion,

      we were like those who are comforted.

      2. Then our mouth was filled with joy,

      and our tongue with exultation;

      then would they say among the nations:

      “The Lord has done great things

      for them.”

      3. The Lord has done great things for us,

      and we have become overjoyed.
