Karatun yau

1 ¶ A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy [shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee.

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

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

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

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.

1 ¶ A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

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

3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4 The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 ¶ Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

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.

1 ¶ A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

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

3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5 ¶ I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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.

7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

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.

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.

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
