PSALMS (Introductions and Translations from Chabad.org):
Chapter
124
1. A song of ascents by
David. Were it not for the Lord Who was with us-let Israel declare- 2. were it
not for the Lord Who was with us when men rose up against us, 3. then they
would have swallowed us alive in their burning rage against us. 4. Then the
waters would have inundated us, the torrent would have swept over our soul; 5.
then the raging waters would have surged over our soul. 6. Blessed is the Lord,
Who did not permit us to be prey for their teeth. 7. Our soul is like a bird
which has escaped from the fowler's snare; the snare broke and we escaped. 8.
Our help is in the Name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Chapter
125
1. A song of ascents.
Those who trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion which never falters, but abides
forever. 2. Mountains surround Jerusalem, and the Lord surrounds His people
from this time and forever. 3. For the rod of wickedness will never come to
rest upon the lot of the righteous; therefore the righteous need not stretch
their hand to iniquity. 4. Be beneficent, O Lord, to the good and to those who
are upright in their hearts. 5. But as for those that turn to their
perverseness, may the Lord lead them with the workers of iniquity. Peace be
upon Israel.
Chapter
126
The
psalmist speaks of the future, comparing our Divine service in exile to one who
sows arid land, then cries and begs G-d to send rain upon it so that the seed
not be wasted. When he merits to reap the crop, he offers thanks to G-d.
1. A song of ascents.
When the Lord will return the exiles of Zion, we will have been like dreamers.
2. Then our mouth will be filled with laughter, and our tongue with songs of
joy; then will they say among the nations, "The Lord has done great things
for these.” 3. The Lord has done great things for us; we were joyful. 4. Lord,
return our exiles as streams to arid soil. 5. Those who sow in tears will reap
with songs of joy. 6. He goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed; he will
surely return with songs of joy, carrying his sheaves.
TIKKUN HAKLALI
Chapter 105
27. They placed upon them the words of His signs and His miracles in the land of Ham.
28. He sent darkness and it darkened, and they did not disobey His word.
29. He turned their water into blood, and it killed their fish.

43. You raised the right hand of his adversaries; You caused all his enemies to rejoice.
