Psalms 134:2

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let’s exalt his name together.

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

Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of Yahweh’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in Yahweh’s name, him and his sons forever.

The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them Yahweh your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in Yahweh’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided.

The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.

You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and Yahweh will not answer you in that day.”

They looked, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,

I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

Praise Yah! Praise God in his sanctuary! Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power!

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, “Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.”

Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”

Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of Yahweh’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.

Zion spreads out her hands. There is no one to comfort her. Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.

Yahweh’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.

For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Armies.

Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God!” All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh,

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
