ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 bible chapter 126

1
[A song of ascents.] When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2
Our mouths were filled with laughter then, and our tongues with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
3
The LORD had done great things for us; we were joyful.
4
Restore our fortunes, LORD, like watercourses in the Negev.
5
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6
Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.

1
[A Solomonic song of ascents.] Unless the LORD builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the LORD watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain.
2
In vain you get up early and stay up late, eating food earned by hard work; certainly He gives sleep to the one He loves.
3
Sons are indeed a heritage from the LORD, children, a reward.
4
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons born in one's youth.
5
Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them. Such men will never be put to shame when they speak with [their] enemies at the city gate.

ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 bible chapter 128

1
[A song of ascents.] How happy is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways!
2
You will surely eat what your hands have worked for. You will be happy, and it will go well for you.
3
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house, your sons, like young olive trees around your table.
4
In this very way the man who fears the LORD will be blessed.
5
May the LORD bless you from Zion, so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6
and will see your children's children! Peace be with Israel.

ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 bible chapter 129

1
[A song of ascents.] Since my youth they have often attacked me-- let Israel say--
2
Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not prevailed against me.
3
Plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
4
The LORD is righteous; He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
5
Let all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.
6
Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up
7
and can't even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.
8
Then none who pass by will say, "May the LORD's blessing be on you." We bless you in the name of the LORD.

ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 bible chapter 130

1
[A song of ascents.] Out of the depths I call to You, LORD!
2
Lord, listen to my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my cry for help.
3
LORD, if You considered sins, Lord, who could stand?
4
But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be revered.
5
I wait for the LORD; I wait, and put my hope in His word.
6
I [wait] for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning-- more than watchmen for the morning.
7
Israel, put your hope in the LORD. For there is faithful love with the Lord, and with Him is redemption in abundance.
8
And He will redeem Israel from all its sins.
