Psalm 130 v.5-6

I wait for you, LORD, my soul waits

I trust you not be late

I wait more than the watchers wait

For morning, their estate

Is to keep guard, watch actively

Your willing servants be

Come to our aid, your grace su show

That more of you we know

 

Psalm 131 v.2-3

Surely I have behaved calmly

And quietened myself, see

As a child weaned of its mother

So my soul none other

Is, so let all Israel hope in

The LORD, praise Him therein

His temple sure for evermore

Him worship and adore

 

Psalm 132 v.13-15

For the LORD has Zion chosen

For Him it be the one

The place where He desired to dwell

His habitation, tell

That He is in the midst, abides

Here He rests, He decides

His rest for ever, and those there

In His blessings will share

 

Psalm 133 v.1-3

Behold, how good and how pleasant

It is gift heaven-sent

For brothers and sisters to dwell

In unity, and well

Shall they fare, for 'tis like the oil

On head of high priest all

It flowed down to his garment too

And as refreshing dew

 

Psalm 134 v.1-3

Behold, bless you the LORD, all due

Temple night-watchers too

Or daytime, serve him faithfully

To him your praises be

Lift up your hands in sanctuary

And bless the LORD, and He

Who made heaven and earth bless you

Out of Zion anew
