Psalms in 30 days reading for day 27.
Psalms 131
- 1 A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.
- 2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
- 3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forevermore.
Psalms 132
- 1 A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
- 2 how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
- 3 “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
- 4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
- 5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
- 6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
- 7 Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
- 8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
- 9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
- 10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
- 11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
- 12 If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
- 13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
- 14 “This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
- 15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
- 16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
- 17 There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
- 18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
Psalms 133
- 1 A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
- 2 It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar of his robes.
- 3 It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD has bestowed the blessing of life forevermore.
Psalms 134
Psalms 135
- 1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
- 2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
- 3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
- 4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
- 5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
- 6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
- 7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
- 8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
- 9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
- 10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
- 11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
- 12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
- 13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
- 14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
- 15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
- 16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
- 17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
- 18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
- 19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
- 20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
- 21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
