Us

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;

The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;

For great is His loving devotion toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Hallelujah!

O LORD, save us, we pray. We beseech You, O LORD, cause us to prosper!

O LORD, save us, we pray. We beseech You, O LORD, cause us to prosper!

The LORD is God; He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.

…if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

…when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

…when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

…then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

…then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

…then the raging waters would have swept us away.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

He remembered us in our low estate His loving devotion endures forever.

…and freed us from our enemies. His loving devotion endures forever.

…for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause,

If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause,

…let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit.

Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—

Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—

Come, let us take our fill of love till morning. Let us delight in loving caresses!

Come, let us take our fill of love till morning. Let us delight in loving caresses!

Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.

Take me away with you—let us hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.

Catch for us the foxes—the little foxes that ruin the vineyards—for our vineyards are in bloom.

How is your beloved better than others, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another, that you charge us so?

Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside; let us spend the night among the wildflowers.

Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside; let us spend the night among the wildflowers.

Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vine has budded, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom—there I will give you my love.

Unless the LORD of Hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.

And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, “We will eat our own bread and provide our own clothes. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!”

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”

‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’

Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”

They will all respond to you, saying, “You too have become weak, as we are; you have become like us!”

“Give us counsel; render a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.

“Give us counsel; render a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.

In the evening, there is sudden terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us and the lot of those who plunder us.

In the evening, there is sudden terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us and the lot of those who plunder us.

But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.

O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.

O LORD our God, other lords besides You have ruled over us, but Your name alone do we confess.

For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.”

Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”

They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.

They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.

Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”

…until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.

O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.

The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”

The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”

But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.

For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.

Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Do not speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”

Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’

Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’ Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?

And now, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”

“Be silent before Me, O islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come forward and testify; let us together draw near for judgment.

“Let them come and tell us what will happen. Tell the former things, so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome. Or announce to us what is coming.

“Let them come and tell us what will happen. Tell the former things, so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome. Or announce to us what is coming.

Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay.

All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”

Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’

Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’

The One who vindicates Me is near. Who will dare to contend with Me? Let us confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me!

He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.

But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

“Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

We all growl like bears and moan like doves. We hope for justice, but find none, for salvation, but it is far from us.

For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:

For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:

I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us—the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.

Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.

Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.

Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
