New International Version (NIV)

A song of ascents.

1 Blessed are all who fear theLord,

who walk in obedience to him.

2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;

blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

within your house;

your children will be like olive shoots

around your table.

4 Yes, this will be the blessing

for the man who fears theLord.

5 May theLordbless you from Zion;

may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem

all the days of your life.

6 May you live to see your children’s children—

peace be on Israel.

A song of ascents.

1 “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”

let Israel say;

2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,

but they have not gained the victory over me.

3 Plowmen have plowed my back

and made their furrows long.

4 But theLordis righteous;

he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

5 May all who hate Zion

be turned back in shame.

6 May they be like grass on the roof,

which withers before it can grow;

7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,

nor one who gathers fill his arms.

8 May those who pass by not say to them,

“The blessing of theLordbe on you;

we bless you in the name of theLord.”

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you,Lord;

2 Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive

to my cry for mercy.

3 If you,Lord, kept a record of sins,

Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness,

so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

5 I wait for theLord, my whole being waits,

and in his word I put my hope.

6 I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning,

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in theLord,

for with theLordis unfailing love

and with him is full redemption.

8 He himself will redeem Israel

from all their sins.

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 My heart is not proud,Lord,

my eyes are not haughty;

I do not concern myself with great matters

or things too wonderful for me.

2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,

I am like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child I am content.

3 Israel, put your hope in theLord

both now and forevermore.

A song of ascents.

1 Lord, remember David

and all his self-denial.

2 He swore an oath to theLord,

he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “I will not enter my house

or go to my bed,

4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes

or slumber to my eyelids,

5 till I find a place for theLord,

a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 We heard it in Ephrathah,

we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:

7 “Let us go to his dwelling place,

let us worship at his footstool, saying,

8 ‘Arise,Lord, and come to your resting place,

you and the ark of your might.

9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;

may your faithful people sing for joy.’ ”

10 For the sake of your servant David,

do not reject your anointed one.

11 TheLordswore an oath to David,

a sure oath he will not revoke:

“One of your own descendants

I will place on your throne.

12 If your sons keep my covenant

and the statutes I teach them,

then their sons will sit

on your throne for ever and ever.”

13 For theLordhas chosen Zion,

he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,

14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever;

here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.

15 I will bless her with abundant provisions;

her poor I will satisfy with food.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation,

and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.

17 “Here I will make a horngrow for David

and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,

but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 How good and pleasant it is

when God’s people live together in unity!

2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,

running down on the beard,

running down on Aaron’s beard,

down on the collar of his robe.

3 It is as if the dew of Hermon

were falling on Mount Zion.

For there theLordbestows his blessing,

even life forevermore.

A song of ascents.

1 Praise theLord, all you servants of theLord

who minister by night in the house of theLord.

2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary

and praise theLord.

3 May theLordbless you from Zion,

he who is the Maker of heaven and earth.

1 Praise theLord.

Praise the name of theLord;

praise him, you servants of theLord,

2 you who minister in the house of theLord,

in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise theLord, for theLordis good;

sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.

4 For theLordhas chosen Jacob to be his own,

Israel to be his treasured possession.

5 I know that theLordis great,

that our Lord is greater than all gods.

6 TheLorddoes whatever pleases him,

in the heavens and on the earth,

in the seas and all their depths.

7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;

he sends lightning with the rain

and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,

the firstborn of people and animals.

9 He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt,

against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He struck down many nations

and killed mighty kings—

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan,

and all the kings of Canaan—

12 and he gave their land as an inheritance,

an inheritance to his people Israel.

13 Your name,Lord, endures forever,

your renown,Lord, through all generations.

14 For theLordwill vindicate his people

and have compassion on his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

17 They have ears, but cannot hear,

nor is there breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.

19 All you Israelites, praise theLord;

house of Aaron, praise theLord;

20 house of Levi, praise theLord;

you who fear him, praise theLord.

21 Praise be to theLordfrom Zion,

to him who dwells in Jerusalem.

Praise theLord.

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept

when we remembered Zion.

2 There on the poplars

we hung our harps,

3 for there our captors asked us for songs,

our tormentors demanded songs of joy;

they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4 How can we sing the songs of theLord

while in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,

may my right hand forget its skill.

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth

if I do not remember you,

if I do not consider Jerusalem

my highest joy.

7 Remember,Lord, what the Edomites did

on the day Jerusalem fell.

“Tear it down,” they cried,

“tear it down to its foundations!”

8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,

happy is the one who repays you

according to what you have done to us.

9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants

and dashes them against the rocks.
