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.”

A Childlike Spirit
131
Lord
, my heart is not proud;

like a little weaned child with its mother;
I am like a little child.

making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

“I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
4
I will not allow my eyes to sleep
or my eyelids to slumber
5
until I find a place for the
Lord
,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Psalms
Living in Harmony
133
How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!
2
It is like fine oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down Aaron's beard
onto his robes.
3
It is like the dew of Hermon
falling on the mountains of
•Zion
.
For there the
Lord
has appointed the blessing —
life forevermore.

Lament of the Exiles
137
By the rivers of Babylon —
there we sat down and wept
when we remembered
•Zion
.
2
There we hung up our lyres
on the poplar trees,
3
for our captors there asked us for songs,
and our tormentors, for rejoicing:
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”

on foreign soil?
5
If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6
May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!
