unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Psa 121:5 The LORD is
thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon
thy right hand.

moon by night.

he shall preserve thy soul.

coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
Psalms 122
Psa 122:1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when
they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
Psa 122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O
Jerusalem.
Psa 122:3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact
together:
Psa 122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the
LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
Psa 122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the
thrones of the house of David.
Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall
prosper that love thee.

now say, Peace be within thee.

will seek thy good.
Psalms 123
Psa 123:1 A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine
eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
Psa 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her
mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD
our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
Psa 123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon
us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Psa 123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the
scorning of those that are at ease, and
with the contempt of the proud.
Psalms 124
Psa 124:1 A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been
the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
Psa 124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose
up against us:
Psa 124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when
their wrath was kindled against us:
Psa 124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the
stream had gone over our soul:
Psa 124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Psa 124:6 Blessed be
the LORD, who hath not given us as a
prey to their teeth.
Psa 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Psa 124:8 Our help is
in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 125
Psa 125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the
LORD shall be
as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.
Psa 125:2 As the mountains are
round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is
round about his people from henceforth even forever.
Psa 125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon
the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto
iniquity.
Psa 125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that
be good, and to
them that
are upright in their hearts.
Psa 125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked
ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall
be upon Israel.

the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
Psa 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and
our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done
great things for them.
Psa 126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
Psa 126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the
streams in the south.
Psa 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Psa 126:6 He that goeth forth
and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless
come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with
him.
Psalms 127
Psa 127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the
LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep
the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psa 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,
to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Psa 127:3 Lo, children are
a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of
the womb is his
reward.
Psa 127:4 As arrows are
in the hand of a mighty man; so are
children of the youth.

the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they
shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
Psa 128:2 For thou shalt eat
the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be,
and it shall
be well with thee.
Psa 128:3 Thy wife shall
be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy
table.
Psa 128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed
that feareth the LORD.
Psa 128:5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and
thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of
thy life.
Psa 128:6 Yea, thou shalt see
thy children's children, and peace upon
Israel.
Psalms 129
Psa 129:1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they
afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
Psa 129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my
youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
Psa 129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
Psa 129:4 The LORD is
righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
Psa 129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back
that hate Zion.
Psa 129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth
before it groweth up:
Psa 129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth
not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
Psa 129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing
of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in
the name of the LORD.
Psalms 130

cried unto thee, O LORD.

ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Psa 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest
mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
Psa 130:4 But there
is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
Psa 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and
in his word do I hope.
Psa 130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that
watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
Psa 130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the
LORD there is
mercy, and with him is plenteous
redemption.
Psa 130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his
iniquities.
Psalms 131
Psa 131:1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is
not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great
matters, or in things too high for me.
Psa 131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as
a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is
even as a weaned child.
Psa 131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth
and forever.
Psalms 132
Psa 132:1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
Psa 132:2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
Psa 132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of
my house, nor go up into my bed;
Psa 132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
Psa 132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a
habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
Psa 132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah:
we found it in the fields of the wood.
Psa 132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will
worship at his footstool.
Psa 132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the
ark of thy strength.
Psa 132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with
righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
Psa 132:10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away
the face of thine anointed.
Psa 132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of
the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
Psa 132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my
testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy
throne forevermore.
Psa 132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath
desired it for his habitation.
Psa 132:14 This is
my rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Psa 132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will
satisfy her poor with bread.
Psa 132:16 I will also clothe her priests with
salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Psa 132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I
have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
Psa 132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but
upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Psalms 133
Psa 133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good
and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Psa 133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that
ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's
beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
Psa 133:3 As the dew of Hermon,
and as
the dew
that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the
blessing, even life forevermore.
Psalms 134
Psa 134:1 A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD,
all ye servants of the LORD, which by
night stand in the house of the LORD.

Psa 134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless
thee out of Zion.
Hebrews
6
Heb
6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the
doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on
of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Heb 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
Heb 6:4 For it
is impossible for those who were once
enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of
the Holy Ghost,
Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the
powers of the world to come,
Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again
unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and
put him to an open shame.
Heb 6:7 For the earth which drinketh
in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth
blessing from God:
Heb 6:8 But that which beareth
thorns and briars is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Heb 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things
of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
Heb 6:10 For God is
not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed
toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Heb 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do show
the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of
them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Heb 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because
he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
Heb 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee,
and multiplying I will multiply thee.
Heb 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he
obtained the promise.
Heb 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an
oath for confirmation is to them an end
of all strife.
Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show
unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled
for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Heb 6:19 Which hope
we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Heb 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the
order of Melchizedek.
