O Yahweh, my heart is not exalted, and my eyes are not raised high;
And I do not involve myself in great matters,
Or in matters too marvelous for me.
Surely I have soothed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother,
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, wait for Yahweh
From now until forever.

Out of the depths I called to You, O Yahweh.
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with You there is forgiveness,
That You may be feared.

“The blessing of Yahweh be upon you;
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”

How blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
Who walks in His ways.
When you shall eat of the fruit of the labor of your hands,
How blessed will you be and how well will it be for you.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the innermost parts of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.

Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears Yahweh.
May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
That you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Indeed, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!

Unless Yahweh builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless Yahweh watches the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early,
That you sit out late,
O you who eat the bread of painful labors;
For in this manner, He gives sleep to His beloved.

Behold, children are an inheritance of Yahweh,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with enemies in the gate.

Yahweh has done great things for us;
We are glad.
Restore our captivity, O Yahweh,
As the streams in the Negev.
Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy.
He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves with him.

Those who trust in Yahweh
Are as Mount Zion, which will not be shaken but will abide forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So Yahweh surrounds His people
From now until forever.
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous,
So that the righteous would not send forth their hands in unrighteousness.

Do good, O Yahweh, to those who are good
And to those who are upright in their hearts.
But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be upon Israel.

Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.

To You I lift up my eyes,
The One enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a servant-girl to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to Yahweh our God,
Until He is gracious to us.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
May peace be within your walls,
And tranquility within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.
