Psalms 120-122
Chapter 120
Prayer for Rescue from the Treacherous.
1 (C1)I cried to the LORD in my trouble,
And He answered me.
2 Rescue my soul, LORD, from (C1)lying lips,
From a (C2)deceitful tongue.
3 What will He give to you, and what more will He do to you,
You (C1)deceitful tongue?
4 (C1)Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning (C2)coals of the broom tree!
5 Woe to me, for I reside in (C1)Meshech,
For I have settled among the (C2)tents of (C3)Kedar!
6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who (C1)hate peace.
7 I (C1)am for peace, but when I speak,
They are (C2)for war.
Chapter 121
The LORD, the Keeper of Israel.
1 I will (C1)raise my eyes to (C2)the mountains;
From where will my help come?
2 My (C1)help comes from the LORD,
Who (C2)made heaven and earth.
3 He will not (C1)allow your foot to slip;
He who (C2)watches over you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who watches over Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your (F1)(C1)protector;
The LORD is your (C2)shade on your right hand.
6 The (C1)sun will not (F1)beat down on you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will (F1)(C1)protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
8 The LORD will (F1)(C1)guard your going out and your coming in
(C2)From this time and forever.
Chapter 122
Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.
1 I was glad when they said to me,
"Let's (C1)go to the house of the LORD."
2 Our feet are standing
Within your (C1)gates, Jerusalem,
3 Jerusalem, that has been (C1)built
As a city that is (C2)firmly joined together;
4 To which the tribes (C1)go up, the tribes of (F1)the LORD—
(F2)An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 For (C1)thrones were set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the (C1)peace of Jerusalem:
"May they prosper who (C2)love you.
7 "May peace be within your (C1)walls,
And prosperity within your (C2)palaces."
8 For the sake of my (C1)brothers and my friends,
I will now say, "(C2)May peace be within you."
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will (C1)seek your good.
