19:122:005 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

19:122:006 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

19:122:007 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

19:122:008 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

19:122:009 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

19:123:001 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

19:123:002 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.

19:123:003 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

19:123:004 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

19:124:001 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

19:124:002 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

19:124:003 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

19:124:004 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

19:124:005 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

19:124:006 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

19:124:007 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

19:124:008 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

19:125:001 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

19:125:002 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

19:125:003 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

19:125:004 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

19:125:005 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.

19:126:001 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

19:126:002 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.

19:126:003 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

19:126:004 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

19:126:005 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

19:126:006 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
