I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me.
2
Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
3
What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue?
4
He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree.
5
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6
Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.
7
I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
Psalms 121
1
Psalm 121 A song of ascents.
1
I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from?
2
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3
He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber;
4
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5
The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7
The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life;
8
the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
