In my trouble I cried to the LORD, And He answered me.
2
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.
3
What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, You deceitful tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the burning coals of the broom tree.
5
Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6
Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who hate peace.
7
I am for peace, but when I speak, They are for war. 121 The LORD the Keeper of Israel. A Song of Ascents.
Psalm 121
1
Iwill lift up my eyes to the mountains; From whence shall my help come?
2
My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
3
He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4
Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5
The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6
The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night.
7
The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.
8
The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever. 122 Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem. A Song of Ascents, of David.
