Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 124
1A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells 2in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever. 3For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity. 4Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart. 5But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
