Part 79

19:127:001 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.

19:127:002 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.

19:127:003 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

19:127:004 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

19:127:005 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

19:128:001 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

19:128:002 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

19:128:003 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

19:128:004 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

19:128:005 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

19:128:006 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

19:129:001 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

19:129:002 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

19:129:003 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

19:129:004 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

19:129:005 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

19:129:006 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

19:129:007 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

19:129:008 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

19:130:001 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

19:130:002 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

19:130:003 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

19:130:004 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

19:130:005 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

19:130:006 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

19:130:007 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

19:130:008 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

19:131:001 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.
