Psalms 120:1

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law.

Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem;

About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

Let brotherly love continue.

You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.”

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

“Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of my people.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.

“But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,

You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, he saves them out of their distresses.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,

It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for Yahweh has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

Yahweh, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.

His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.

So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

In my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them, because they put their trust in him.

You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.

He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.

Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.

Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.

But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.

I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.

Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.”

Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

Look! Praise Yahweh, all you servants of Yahweh, who stand by night in Yahweh’s house!

Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
