[These are Psalms 120 through 130 from the Holy Bible, Hoehn Version, copyright 2011. (Amazon)  They have been revised from the King James Version into modern English by Frederick Hoehn.]

___Psalm 120
 1 In my distress, I cried to the Lord, and he heard me.
 2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
 3 What shall be given to you?  Or what shall be done to you, you false tongue?
 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
 5 Woe is me, that I visit in Mesech, that I live in the tents of Kedar!
 6 My soul has lived for a long time with him that hates peace.
 7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.

___Psalm 121
 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills, where my help comes from.
 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
 3 He will not allow your foot to be moved, he that keeps you will not slumber.
 4 See, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
 5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
 6 The sun won't strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
 7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil, he shall preserve your soul.
 8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time onward, and even forever.

___Psalm 122
 1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go into the house of the Lord."
 2 Our feet shall stand inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
 3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is compact together,
 4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
 5 For thrones of judgment are set there, the thrones of the house of David.
 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love you.
 7 Peace be inside your walls, and prosperity inside your palaces.
 8 For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be inside you."
 9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I'll seek your good.

___Psalm 123
 1 I lift up my eyes to you, O you that lives in the heavens.
 2 See, like the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and like the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait on the Lord our God, until he has mercy on us.
 3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we are very much filled with contempt.
 4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

___Psalm 124
 1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, Israel can now say,
 2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
 3 Then they would have swallowed us up quickly, when their anger was kindled against us,
 4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul,
 5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
 6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
 7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the trap of the bird catchers, the trap has been broken, and we are escaped.
 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

___Psalm 125
 1 Those who trust in the Lord shall be like mount Zion, that can't be removed, but remains forever.
 2 As the mountains are around Jerusalem, so the Lord is around his people from now on, forever.
 3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, so that the righteous don't put out their hands to sin.
 4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.
 5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them out with the doers of sin, but peace shall be on Israel.

___Psalm 126
 1 When the Lord undid the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.
 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing, then they said among the heathen, "The Lord has done great things for them."
 3 The Lord has done great things for us, for which we are glad.
 4 Undo our captivity, O Lord, like the streams in the south.
 5 Those who plant in tears shall harvest in joy.
 6 He that goes out crying, carrying precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

___Psalm 127
 1 Unless the Lord builds the house, they're wasting their time who build it, unless the Lord keeps the city, the staying awake of the watchman does no good.
 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows, for so he gives his beloved sleep.
 3 See, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
 4 Like arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth.
 5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them, they won't be ashamed, but they'll speak with the enemies in the gate.

___Psalm 128
 1 Blessed is everyone that fears the Lord, that walks in his ways.
 2 For you'll eat the labor of your hands, happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
 3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine by the sides of your house, your children like olive plants around your table.
 4 See, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
 5 The Lord shall bless you out of Zion, and you'll see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
 6 Yes, you'll see your children's children, and peace on Israel.

___Psalm 129
 1 They've afflicted me many times from my youth, Israel can now say,
 2 They've afflicted me many times from my youth, yet they haven't prevailed against me.
 3 The plowers plowed on my back, they made long their furrows.
 4 The Lord is righteous, he has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
 5 Let them all be confused and turned back that hate Zion.
 6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, that withers before it grows up,
 7 With which the mower doesn't fill his hand, nor he that ties sheaves his bosom.
 8 Nor do those who go by say, "The blessing of the Lord be on you, we bless you in the name of the Lord."

___Psalm 130
 1 Out of the depths I've cried to you, O Lord.
 2 Lord, hear my voice, let your ears be attentive to the voice of my prayers.
 3 If you, Lord, would point out sins, O Lord, who shall stand?
 4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you'll be feared.
 5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word do I hope.
 6 My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, I say, more than those who watch for the morning.
 7 Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
 8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins.
